On This Day
Villa, with the hapless Kevin MacDonald in charge as interim boss, lose at Millwall to leave them with a solitary win in ten Championship matches.
Caretaker manager Kevin MacDonald takes charge of Villa for the third time following the departure of Martin O'Neill in 2010-11, Tim Sherwood in 2015-16 and now Steve Bruce in 2018-19.
