ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 19 December 1928
Villa bounce back from defeat at Leeds Road to put five past Manchester City with braces from Joe Beresford and Dicky York and a goal on his first appearance since the opening day of the season for Jimmy Gibson in an unaccustomed forward lying role.
As a result Villa make it ten wins, two draws and six defeats in their eighteen division one games having scored 35 goals in their last eleven matches.
Villa climb back to joint 4th.
