On This Day
Jimmy Hogan's Villa continue their good start to life back in the top flight and record their fourth win in eight games as Andy Kerr scores for the fourth time in as many games.
Villa extend their unbeaten top flight run to four games for the first time since April 1935 as they beat Portsmouth to make it four wins, two draws and two defeats in eight division one games.
