On This Day
Les Smith scores his third goal in two games and Jackie Sewell scores one and makes one as Villa race into a three goal lead in 14 first half minutes, mystifyingly however they take their foot off the pedal and allow Newcastle back into the game although their first quarter of an hour blitz is enough to take both points.
Villa record their first win in five to make it four wins, four draws and four defeats in twelve games this season under Eric Houghton.
