Villa bounce back from a difficult run to beat leaders Liverpool and make it eleven wins, fourteen draws and nine defeats in thirty four division one games this season under Ron Saunders.

Two days after the brick bats of defeat to Leeds, Villa stun title favourites Liverpool in a stunning Villa Park victory as Allan Evans abandons defence, stays on the pitch, creates one and scores one. 

Gordon Cowans makes his 100th appearance in a Villa shirt (85 Starts) to make it W43 D26 L31, 14 Goals and 8 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 4.55 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
