ASTON VILLA V. BURNLEY. - Played at Turf Moor.

In the presence of about 6,000 people.

The visitors were without A. Hunter, but Dennis Hodgetts made his reappearance.

Burnley were the same team which played against North End.

It was after three o’clock when Burnley kicked off, Villa having only eight men to start with, two more coming in five minutes. Burnley pressed, and had two corners, Warner, who saved well, giving one of them, followed by a third.

After the goalkeeper had saved Burnley having conceded a corner - the home team did good work, and at end of twenty minutes Yates headed a fine goal from a pass by J. Brady.

Burnley had the best of the play, and very nearly scored from a free kick. The Villa gave another corner, and a severe struggle took place is front of the visitors’ goal.

The score at half-time was—Burnley, 1 goal; Villa, 0. The “Villans” had only ten men, and Cox had nothing to do.

Both sides pressed in turn on resumption, and in the course of a few minutes Gallacher notched another point for Burnley.

The “Villains” retaliated and secured a fruitless corner, but had to concede a similar advantage immediately afterwards, a strong attack ensuing. Yates put the ball through, only to have it disallowed. The home side maintained an almost incessant attack and the Aston goal had miraculous escapes.

K. A Brady notched a third point for Burnley, and, after a short interval M’Kay added a fourth. Burnley won a one-sided match by 4 to 0.

Score: Burnley, 4 goals; Aston Villa 0.
