On This Day
  • Villa wipe the floor with Blackpool and find themselves behind. All possession no punch hurts Villa yet again but no matter, they get there in the end.

  • Joe Mercerโ€™s Villa win consecutive League games and scored successive League goals for the first time since the first week of December to make it eleven wins, six draws and eleven defeats in twenty eight Division One games this season.
