On This Day
Saturday, 6 September 1930
Pongo Waring scores four and creates two as Villa look imperious against West Ham.
Waring scores four for the second time this season as he scores his NINTH of the campaign and 9th in three games.
Villa make it three consecutive wins so far in 1930-31
Villa make it 12 goals in three games as they win their second successive home game.
Villa score four or more for the second time in three games
Even more impressively their heavily defeated opponents, West Ham, had also won both of their opening games including a 7-0 victory over Liverpool
Villa sit joint first in the table alongside Arsenal having scored 12 goals to Arsenal's 11 but having conceded four compared to three, as a result on goal ratio Arsenal are top of the pile even though Villa have the same goal difference and have scored more goals.
