On This Day
  • Villa record successive victories for the first time this season to make it three wins and two defeats in five division one games.

  • Villa concede first for the fourth time in five games in 1933-34.

  • Villa record successive victories for the first time this season as Eric Houghton hits a brace for his first goals of the campaign and Dai Astley scores for the fourth time in five.

  • But the highlight of the game was centre back Alec Talbot's goal "keeping the ball at his toes, after midfield play, beat man after man on his own, and completed a truly brilliant effort with a drive Riley did not even see."

  • Dai Astley and Pongo Waring contribute their fifth goal involvements in five games so far this season.

  • Villa climb to joint 2nd.
