MATCH SUMMARY
Villa make 18th place their own, six points clear of the relegation places, after Tommy Docherty delivers a fourth successive League win to transform a side cut adrift at the bottom just five second division games previously. Barrie Hole repays Docherty’s faith with his latest goal to beat mid table Huddersfield but Villa end the game with ten men after Charlie Aitken is carried off with a damaged blood vessel in his chest.
