On This Day
Albion, who haven't won a League game at Villa Park since 1936, are swatted aside as a desperate Villa grab two precious points to fend off relegation.
Eric Houghton's Villa win for the second time in three matches to make it thirteen wins, five draws and nineteen defeats in thirty seven division one games.
