On This Day
Villa get speedy revenge over Bolton and mete out the same punishment they had received at Burnden Park four days earlier. As a result Villa open a gap of 6 points to the bottom two with four to play.
Eric Houghton's Villa win for the third time in four matches as they win successive games to make it fourteen wins, five draws and nineteen defeats in thirty eight division one games.
