Villa fail to score for the third successive match - as many as they failed to score in in the entirety of 1912-13 - and are now without a win in three to make it eight wins, five draws and nine defeats in their twenty two division one games. Meanwhile, midfielder George Tranter made his final appearance for Villa aged 27 before retiring from football. George had made 174 appearances for Villa, scoring once over his nine seasons with the club winning the League title in 1909-10, FA Cup in 1912-13 and helping Villa to four runners up places.
