On This Day
Eric Houghton scores a brace including a spectacular 40 yard free kick to secure Villa's third win in five.
Villa win for the third time in five to make it nine wins, three draws and four defeats in sixteen division one games this season.
Villa keep their third clean sheet in 16 games.
Villa climb to joint 6th but are still to settle their two games in hand that would send them outright second in the table behind leaders Everton.
