On This Day
Villa score for the first time in three games.
Villa 0-0 at half time score five second half goals, including four in seven minutes - all to George Brown - to make it 9-0 on aggregate this season in the league against Blackburn.
Villa have now scored three or more goals 17 times in 41 league games this season and four or more on ten occasions.
Villa make it twenty two wins, eight draws and eleven defeats in their forty one division one games so far in 1932-33 with one game remaining.
Villa keep their fourth clean sheet in six games and their fourteenth of the season in their 41st game.
Winning their penultimate game, Villa remain one point clear of third place Wednesday, the only team who can now beat them to fourth place.
If Villa get at least a point at home to Derby next week then runners up is Billy Smith's for the second time in three seasons.
