On This Day
Derek Pace scores his fourth goal in five and Johnny Dixon his 3rd goal and 3rd assist in four as Eric Houghton's Villa score three away from home and lose heavily for the second time in four games.
But unlike the defeat at Hillsborough with Villa never in the game, St James' sees a contest that reaches 3-4 before Len White hits his fourth goal of the evening to win it ofr the hosts.
Villa have now scored 11 in 6 games, conceding 17.
Villa make it one win, two draws and three defeats after six division one games
