ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 1 October 1988
Graham Taylor's Villa lose and fail to score for the first time this season and fall back to 11th place in the table with seven points from six games.
Villa lose for the first time in 1988-89 as they concede early, miss a second half penalty and have Andy Gray sent off for striking anger magnet Gary Megson to let an uncultured Wednesday side claim all three points.
The penalty comes after Kevin Pressman brings Chris Price down with a professional foul with the goal gaping for the full back but such were the laws that the 'keeper stayed on to come up with an excellent save to Stuart Gray's penalty.
🟥 1 October 1988, Villa 0-1 Wednesday, Hillsborough.
