Villa get the Albion long-ball mugging well out of their system as they batter Birmingham in their second consecutive game against one of the neighbours.
1-0 Darius Vassell gets the ball 40 yards out, beats two and hits a wicked shot
1-1 Birmingham get an ungainly tap-in from a goalmouth melee
2-1 Michael Standing hits the bar, Michael Blackwood returns the ball, Darius Vassell scores
3-1 Darius Vassell beats two defenders and hits a 15-yard shot into the net
4-1 Stephen Evans easily clips a 15-yard shot into an empty net as the opposition are left standing
5-1 Darius Vassell crosses, David Curtolo turns and neatly tucks away no. 5
6-1 Gavin Melaugh runs onto Stephen Evansโ headed ball before shooting home
Villa sit top of the table with 58 points, two ahead of second-placed Wolves, but the Yam Yams have two games in hand.
