On This Day
Villa remain without a manager 11 days after the sacking of George Martin but Eric Houghton, who is assumed to be the man to replace Martin, watches on at Villa Park despite still working at Notts County,
Tommy Thompson scores a brace to help Villa to their first win of the season as managerless Villa play at home for the first time this season following successive defeats on the road.
