On This Day
Villa hit a three minute first half brace but don't capitalise but do enough to win and maintain their four point lead at the top of the table.
Graham Taylor's Villa have now lost just once in twenty five Division Two games, winning sixteen.
What they Said
"We were second best in most things and three or tour players were just not with it.
|We played in bits and pieces and we are just glad to have three points."
Graham Taylor.
