On This Day
Frank Broome hits a brace to record Villa's fourth successive victory under Jimmy Hogan to end 1937 in a strong promotion position as the move above Coventry for the first time this season to sit outright second, one point behind leaders Sheffield United with a game in hand.
Villa win for the fourth consecutive League game for the first time this season and the first time since January 1933 under Jimmy Smith.
Villa make it thirteen wins, four draws and five defeats in twenty two division two games.
