ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 14 March 1931
Villa take the lead in the first minutes of the game and equal the record goals in a season set by Sheffield Wednesday of 105 goals.
Villa go on to score plenty more as Arsenal are destroyed at Villa Park.
Pongo Waring scores his FORTY SECOND goal in thirty two games
Jack Mandley contributes his ninth assist in eight games.
Villa record seven consecutive victories.
Villa make it twenty wins, eight draws and six defeats in their thirty four division one games having scored ONE HUNDRED AND NINE goals breaking the League record previously set by Sheffield Wednesday.
Villa score four or more for the sixteenth time in 36 games this season having scored six three times, seven once and eight once.
Villa sit two points behind Arsenal in second place but the Londoners retain a game in hand.
Up next is the disgraceful Derby County who inflicted such damage on Villa in the reverse fixture in November in their typical roughhouse fashion.
