On This Day
  • Villa open 1910 as they ended 1909 as three Goals in the first 17' put Villa in total control at the City Ground as Harry Hampton hits a hat-trick to help open the new year with Villa's fourth successive victory.

  • Villa make it twelve wins, three draws and five defeats in their twenty division one games so far this season.

  • Despite the four successive wins and having been joint third, because of the vagaries of League scheduling and interrupted fixtures, Villa fall back to joint 4th two points behind leaders Blackburn but have now played one, two and in some cases three fewer games than the teams around them.

  • Villa play their 7th away fixture on New Years Day of their 7 games played on that day.

  • It's Villa second successive New Years Day victory having lost their first 5 without scoring and conceding 18.
