🕒 | HT Aston Villa 1-0 Port Vale
🕒 | FT Aston Villa 1-0 Port Vale

On This Day

Bristol Rovers lose again, Fulham are held and Villa win to catapult them into joint first place behind Rovers only on goal average.
Villa’s goal once again comes from Bruce Rioch and is from a planned move that brought success against Shrewsbury and Vale and had become a major tactical feature of Villa’s play as Brian Godfrey taps the ball forward to Rioch who shoots through the defensive wall within which Pat McMahon has broken away to create space.
Vic Crowe's League Cup finalists Villa make it fourteen wins, seven draws and five defeats in twenty six division three games so far this season to climb to joint first in the table, level on points with leaders Bristol Rovers, separated on goal average.

On This Day

Vic Crowe's Villa end the season with nineteen wins, fifteen draws and twelve defeats in forty six division three games. A season which had promised so much ended with a brave cup final defeat but a collapse in form thereafter that would mean Villa would spend a second successive season in the third tier. Sitting top of the League in February, a record of seven losses, seven draws and just three wins in seventeen games left Villa fourth in division three and two places off the promotion places.

Match Timeline

On This Day

Vic Crowe's Villa make it two wins and a draw in division three so far this season as centre forward Andy Lochhead scores his first League goal since 19 December 1970. Lochhead, no stranger to goal droughts, had to wait sixteen games for his first goal after joining the club in February 1970 and had scored just ten league goals over three seasons, six of which came in a run of 6 games in September 1970.
