Duncan Ferguson's latest tenure as caretaker boss got off to a poor start as Everton slipped to another Premier League defeat.
The Blues did not get the lift they hoped they might after sacking Rafael Benitez earlier this week in the wake of a chastening defeat at the hands of strugglers Norwich City.
Instead, they fell to another defeat, this time at the hands of a Villa side performing well under new manager Steven Gerrard.
