On This Day
Villa's inconsistent start to the season continues as they make it two wins and two defeats in four division one games.
Villa win their first home game of the season as Pongo Waring scores his third goal of the campaign
Waring and Dai Astley now have four goal involvements apiece (3 Goals, 1 Assist) across the first four games of the season.
Villa score first and keep a clean sheet for the first time in 1933-34
For the second game in a row Villa have a referee who appears not to be totally clear on the rules of the game as he continually pulls up the Villa forwards for what were at best marginal offside decisions.
Villa climb to joint 4th.
