On This Day
Villa score 4 in the mud, could have had 8, and see off Rovers in one of the most one-sided games imaginable. The conditions didn't help of course but Villa have their first win since beating Chelsea on 17 December.
Joe Mercer's Villa face Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup third round replay at Villa Park just two days after the original fixture.
