Graham Turnerโs ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Villa make it five games unbeaten as they โฝ score four second half goals to see off Graham Taylor's ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Watford.
Villa win for the third time in seven first division games as Andy Gray ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ scores his โฝ first goal since January.
Villa though are forced to take a penalty after the referee refuses to give a goal after Brian Talbotโs ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ hand deflected the ball into his own net.
Regardless the much needed win sends Villa 17th, two points clear of the relegation places with four to play.
Andy Gray ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ scores his โฝ first goal in ๐ 16 games and his โฝ 7th in ๐ 43 games since his return to the club.
