ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 24 February 1990
Villa suffer a shock defeat - their first since December - as they miss an early penalty before the referee is hoodwinked by gamesmanship from John Fashanu to award Wimbledon a game changing penalty. Despite the loss, Villa remain first in the table and two points clear of Liverpool.
Graham Taylor’s Villa lose for the first time in eight League games as they fall back to 2nd place, one point behind leaders Liverpool.
