AVFC HISTORY MATCH SUMMARY

Villa concede three or more goals for the fourth time in ten league games as they are handed a second gold lesson in taking chances by fellow strugglers and neighbours Birmingham. Villa, having weathered a rain of stones into their penalty area, have two cleared off the line and become the first side to fail to score against Birmingham this season to fall to 21st in the second division.
