Match Media
On This Day
  • Villa's first win in four should be more comfortable that it proves as two late Newcastle goals threaten to cancel out Villa's Billy Myerscough inspired performance.

  • Eric Houghton's Villa win for the first time in four to end a run of three successive losses and make it four wins, two draws and eight defeats in fourteen division one games this season.
