Graham Taylor's 🏴 Villa make it six games unbeaten - 🟨 drawing three and 🟩 winning three.

Midfielder Warren Aspinall 🏴 after a slow start to his Villa career ⚽ scores his 8th goal in a Villa shirt to make it 10 goal involvements on his 🕒 23rd appearance at a rate of one every 2.30 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
