ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 1 November 1930
Villa extend their unbeaten home run to six, winning five, in total contrast to their poor away form as they hit Blackburn for five.
Villa score four or more for the fifth time in 13 games this season, having scored five once and six twice.
Villa's goal haul means they're the highest scorers in the division but they remain second, one point behind Arsenal who are held again, this time by the Huddersfield team Villa dispatched for six in October.
Up next for Villa are the leaders at Highbury and the chance to retake top spot.
Pongo Waring scores his 18th goal in thirteen games and contributes his 24th goal involvement
Midfielder Tommy Wood makes his Villa debut aged 22 after joining from Shrewsbury Town in February 1929.
