On This Day
Derek Pace making his first start of the season scores early to help Villa to a second successive win as Trevor Ford is completely outshone on his first return to Villa Park.
Villa's win could and probably should have been significantly bigger having hit the woodwork three times and peppered Sunderland with a barrage of attacking football.
