On This Day
Eric Houghton scores two and makes one to make it six goals and eleven goal involvements in nine games as Villa build up a three goal cushion on the hour but Huddersfield score twice to make it a nervy finish as Villa hold on to record a fifth win in 1933-34.
Villa climb back to joint third - level with eight other teams in a highly congested table.
Villa now have one clean sheet in nine games under Billy Smith.
