On This Day
Villa win again, and for the third successive away game, but so do Coventry as they maintain a two point gap ahead of Jimmy Hogan's side who now occupy 3rd place outright.
Up next are leaders Coventry at Villa Park, a win would put Villa joint top but Coventry look formidable opposition.
Eric Houghton scores his fourth in as many games as Villa keep up their promotion push with an eighth win of the season in twelve games under Jimmy Hogan.
