On This Day
Villa see off third division Walsall in their first meeting in eighteen years to progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Villa take the lead after 4' with the first of a Billy Walker brace but although never seriously in trouble, the game isn't safe until George Brown's 88th minute strike puts Villa 3-1 up.
