Match Media
On This Day
  • Frank Broome scores his fifth in as many games and his fourteenth in sixteen as Villa win three consecutive games with promotion not yet guaranteed but likely.

  • Villa now have twenty four wins for the season with a game left to play.

  • Villa return to the outright top of the table on 55 points two clear of second placed Sheffield United with Manchester United and Coventry two points further back but with a game in hand over Sheffield United.

  • If Villa beat Norwich in 10 days then the Championship and promotion is theirs but depending on how results go their return to the top flight could be confirmed before then.
