Villa, playing their second match in three days and fifth in ten, need a late late winner to take the points against Oldham but in doing so Vic Crowe’s side not only extend their lead at the top of the table to seven but break the club’s points record - 61 - with six games still to play, and increase their newly set win record to 27.

Vic Crowe's Villa make it five successive victories for the third time since November (this time in just 11 days) courtesy of Ray Graydon's goal 13 seconds before full time. As a result, Villa make it twenty eight wins, five draws and seven defeats in 40 division three games so far this campaign. In doing so Villa (played 40, points 61) have set a record points haul (61) and win total (28) to put them seven points clear of Bournemouth (played 40, points 54) and Brighton and Hove Albion (played 39, points 54).
