On This Day
Villa drop their first home point of the season as they are held by neighbours Birmingham at Villa Park.
It's the only local game Villa will play this season as the derby is absent from the fixture list with Albion plying their trade in the second tier as are Wolverhampton, and it proves to be a poor substitute as Villa are forced to face the nullifying direct effects of their neighbours.
Pongo Waring however weighs in with his 15th goal in eleven.
Villa make it seven wins, three draws and a defeat in eleven division one games having scored THIRTY goals.
Villa drop back to second as Arsenal make no mistake in their match with Manchester United - the only side in the football league yet to earn a point in 1930-31.
