On This Day
Villa bounce back from successive losses to beat Albion as Dai Astley scores a brace.
Villa make it eighteen wins, six draws and seven defeats in their thirty one division one games so far this season.
Villa have now scored three or more goals 15 times in 31 league games this season and four or more on nine occasions.
Villa dominate from first to last but incredibly find themselves behind twice to the side that inflicted their first defeat of the campaign back in October. Happily Villa's class wins out as two goals in the last eight minutes send Villa to a well deserved victory.
Villa remain third, five points behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand
Up next are another of the League's strugglers - Blackpool - as Villa hope they can reverse their hopeless record against the relegation fighting clubs.
