ON THIS DAY
Sunday, 19 December 1982
Villa are forced to play title rivals Liverpool after returning from their 12,000 mile round trip to Tokyo and the weariness is self evident as Villa concede three in the first thirty before their fightback is crushed in the final minutes.
Tony Barton's Villa, reigning European Champions, lose for the third successive game in all competitions having fallen three goals behind in terrible conditions against Liverpool, as a result Villa make it ten wins, a draw and eight losses in nineteen League games this season.
