Pongo Waring scores his twentieth of the season but Villa are held at Maine Road.

Goalless at half time, Villa find themselves three behind before the ten men - with Jack Mandley injured - win a pen and soon add two more.

Notable however is the poor sportsmanship of the Manchester City support who behave, as is often the norm at Maine Road, with anything but gentlemans manners.

Villa make it eight wins, three draws and four defeats in fifteen division one games this season 

Villa have now scored three or more goals eight times in fifteen games so far this season and five or more four times.

Villa now have two clean sheets in 15 games in 1931-32.

Despite picking up another point on the road Villa sit joint 8th in the table still to have their two games in hand scheduled by the League. Winning those would position Villa in outright second - the position in which they finished the previous season.
