On This Day
Dai Astley hits a hat-trick as Villa record successive wins for the second time this season.
Villa make it four wins, a draw and three defeats in sp far in 1934-35.
Villa score four for the first time under Jimmy McMullan but now have just one clean sheet in eight games, conceding 18.
Villa's upturn in form sees them climb to joint 7th with Grimsby, one point behind, up next.
Left back Fred Butcher made his second and final appearance for Villa, seven days after his debut aged 24, before moving on to Blackpool in August 1936.
