On This Day
Villa beat second placed Bournemouth to push them down to third in the table and open up a four point lead over the south coast side who retain their game in hand. Meanwhile, Notts County win to lift them to second, three behind Villa with two games in hand.
Meanwhile, Villa fall behind before losing Fred Turnbull to concussion and under pressure Geoff Vowden, who was booed at kick off, scores, gestures and leaves the field to cheers.
Vic Crowe's Villa record five successive wins for the second time this season and make it ten wins in eleven and twenty wins, two draws and six defeats in division three so far this campaign.
As a result of winning the promotion 'four pointer', Villa (played 28, points 42) open a four point gap to Bournemouth (played 27, points 38) as Notts County go second (played 26, points 39).
