On This Day
Four goals in three games for Johnny Dixon and Villa win for the first time in twelve but Dave Hickson is centre of attention as skirmishes break out throughout the second half involving Villa's centre forward.
Villa make it two wins, seven draws and six losses in fifteen games this season.
