On This Day
Larry Canning and Amos Moss, both reserve team call ups in Villa's ongoing injury troubles, score to help Villa to a victory over a top four team for the second successive game.
Villa record consecutive League wins for the first time since November to make it eleven wins, eleven draws and thirteen defeats in thirty five division one games so far this season.
Villa though fall back to 15th in the table having played two, and in some cases, three games less than those around them.
