ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 27 December 1986
Billy McNeill's 🏴 Villa 🟥 lose for the sixth time in ten games and have now just 🟩 twelve wins in their last forty nine League games 🟥 losing twenty three.
Controversial referee David Axcell strikes again as he hands bottom club Chelsea 🏴 a dubious penalty after 8' to set them on the way to victory as Villa's fighting skills appear worryingly depleted.
Villa drop to 18th and are now just one clear of the relegation places after 22 games.
Centre forward Garry Thompson 🏴 makes his 🕒 25th appearance in a Villa shirt and makes it 🟩 W8 🟨 D6 🟥 L11, ⚽ 7 Goals and 🔥 4 Assists so far in his Villa career.
Centre back Paul Elliott 🏴 ⚽ scores his 5th goal in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 53rd appearance.
