ON THIS DAY
Villa go three games unbeaten for the first time November despite Peter Crouch putting relegation threatened Southampton two up in the first half. As a result Villa climb to 9th position but a strong result, and improved performance, are tainted somewhat by more David O'Leary barbs towards his players post match.
