  • 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.

MATCH QUOTES

"Aston Villa need this kind of thing at the moment like a hole in the head. "Steve showed dissent to the referee and you can't expect to get away with that. ”I thought we should have had a penalty but Steve's action was irresponsible and reduced us to 10 men." Graham Taylor.
