ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 12 September 1987
Villa have a headless Steve Hunt 🏴 🟨 booked twice and 🟥 sent off within ten minutes necessitating a backs to the wall performance against a second placed Barnsley and could have even snatched all three points with ten on the pitch.
Graham Taylor's 🏴 Villa now have 🟩 one win in their first seven second tier games as an automatic return to the first division looks a long way off.
