On This Day
Villa win their fourth successive home League game this season.
Villa now have one clean sheet in seven games this season
Villa make it five wins, a draw and two defeats in eight division one games this season.
Villa's fourth win in five sees them finally move up the table to joint 6th but they share the spot with four other clubs and still have games in hand on those around them.
Up next are bottom side Portsmouth and an opportunity to make further progress.
