On This Day
Pongo Waring hits a hat-trick to make it sixteen for the season as Villa sweep aside Blackpool
Villa make it seven wins, two draws and three defeats in twelve division one games this season
After topping the scoring charts in 1930-31, Villa have 35 goals in 12 games already this season with only leaders Everton having scored more.
Villa have now scored three or more goals six times in twelve games so far this season and five or more four times.
Villa now have two clean sheets in 12 games in 1931-32.
Villa continue to have two games in hand on the rest of the League as their seventh win in twelve leaves them in joint 7th.
Crazily Villa have three games in hand on their next opponents - the local derby against Albion who sit second on 19 points.
Villa have 16 points, winning those games in hand would put them in the outside lead at the top of the table, one ahead of Everton but little is being done about making up the shortfall in the offices of the League.
