ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 16 December 1989
Villa are kicked all over the park and are muzzled by Millwall's aggression as a lenient refereeing performance offers no protection.
Villa suffer a first League defeat in six as they lose to 17th place Millwall, as a result Villa fall to joint third alongside Norwich and are now three points behind Liverpool and five points behind leaders Arsenal.
Gordon Cowans makes his 400th start in a Villa shirt (417 Appearances) to make it W187 D100 L130, 55 Goals and 69 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.36 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
