Match Media
On This Day
  • Frank Broome scores for the fifth time in three games to help Villa to a ninth win in fifteen top flight matches, losing four but it would have been a hat-trick had referee Rudd not had an absolute stinker of a performance.

  • Villa win three consecutive games to record their ninth top flight victory in fifteen and make it thirteen wins, five draws and eleven defeats in twenty nine division one games so far this season.
