On This Day
Villa win three successive games for the first time this season as they put bottom side Bolton to the sword at Villa Park as George Edwards grabs a brace and Billy Goffin an assist on his return to the side.
Villa climb to joint 5th alongside Derby and Wolves with third from bottom Stoke up next.
