ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 11 February 1989
Villa are beaten by the hated and hateful Wimbledon for the third consecutive time as they fall back to 12th in the table but there is reckoning coming for the Dons thuggish behaviour with the authorities no longer willing to turn their blind eyes to a an over-hyped fairytale.
Graham Taylor's Villa lose at Wimbledon to make it three League defeats in five.
