On This Day

Villa lose narrowly at Elland Road but have John Burridge to thank for keeping them from a heavier defeat as Leeds once again demonstrate what makes them such a universally unpopular side as they resort to their usual dirty tactics.
Ron Saunders' Villa make it seven wins, seven draws and eight defeats in twenty two League games following their return to the top flight.
