ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 7 December 1985
Villa's first half display warrants more but they are left well beaten in the second half to leave them winless in five League games under Graham Turner and 16th in the table.
Graham Turner’s Villa lose for the third consecutive League game and now have just four wins in twenty Division One games and nine defeats as they remain in 16th place in the table.
Meanwhile, centre back Paul Elliott made his Villa debut aged 21 after moving from Luton Town earlier this month for a fee of £400,000.
