On This Day
Joe Beresford scores a brace and Pongo Waring contributes his third assist in two games as Villa secure a second successive win and a sixth victory in eight games as they beat second placed Blackburn.
Villa make it seven wins, two draws and five defeats in their fourteen division one games.
With his side seemingly beginning to click again, Billy Smith's Villa jump to joint 6th in the table - their highest position of 1928-29 to date.
