On This Day
  • Jack Mandley scores in successive games as Villa with second placed Portsmouth 

  • Villa have one win in their last eight League games having started the season with seven wins in ten, as a period of ill-luck and poor play seems to have removed them completely from the title race.

  • Nevertheless in their seventeen division one games Villa have now scored FORTY SIX goals second only to leaders Arsenal.
