On This Day
Villa, shorn of Stan Crowther after a controversial decision from the club, are again well beaten, this time by Chelsea as major concerns are aired about the direction of the club.
Eric Houghton's Villa lose a second successive game to make it nine wins, five draws and sixteen defeats in thirty division one games - a 30% win rate and 53% loss rate with three quarters of the season played.
