On This Day
Graham Taylor's ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Villa win for the first time in five and have now won 20 of their last thirty six League games losing 7.
The victory is enough to propel Villa back to second, two points behind Millwall with two to play with third placed Bradford up next.
The margin could have been bigger however but Warren Aspinall ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ controversially takes and misses a penalty ahead of appointed specialist Stuart Gray ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ.
Midfielder Warren Aspinall ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ โฝ scores to contribute his 20th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his ๐ 48th appearance (43 Starts).
