ON THIS DAY

  • Playing just 24 hours after their defeat at Vetch Field, Jimmy Hogan's Villa gain swift revenge for their defeat as Swansea are beaten at Villa Park with Frank Shell grabbing a brace.

  • The scoreline, heavy thought it is, was hard work in obtaining against a Swansea side playing way above their usual level, Villa though, despite their finishing woes, hit four with three coming in the final 18 minutes once Swansea's resistance was broken,

  • Villa win for the second time in three to make it twenty two wins, seven draws and ten defeats in thirty nine division two games.

  • Villa move back to top of the table with their game in hand win but as Coventry are also victorious it is a leadership shared by three including Sheffield United.

  • Manchester United in fourth sit four points behind with six left to play for, Sheffield United have just four more points possible.
