ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 17 September 1983
Tony Barton's 🏴 Villa suffer a second successive defeat in all competitions as they lose at reigning champions Liverpool and fall back to 8th in the first division table.
Villa concede two in the last twenty minutes before Steve McMahon 🏴 is 🟥 sent off by referee David Hutchinson despite the Villa midfielder's assailant Graeme Souness getting away with a clear kick.
That injustice added to Phil Neal escaping with a booking for denying Villa a clear goalscoring opportunity in the early minutes of the first half.
As a result Villa make it 🟩 three wins, 🟨 one draw and 🟥 two defeats in 🕒 six League games so far this season.
Colin Gibson 🏴 scores his ⚽ 5th goal in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 152nd appearance but it is his ⚽ second in his last 🕒 8 games.
Meanwhile, Herbert Douglas Ellis faces a challenge to his dictatorship.
