On This Day
Villa win their third successive home game as they also dish out their third successive hammering, hitting West Ham for five to make it four wins, a draw and a defeat in six division one games this season
The top scorers from 1930-31 now have hit twenty two goals in just six games in 1931-32 as Pongo Waring scores four for the second successive match to make it 12 for the season.
Villa have now scored three or more goals four times in six games so far this season and five or more three times.
Villa however have kept just one clean sheet in six.
Despite their outstanding run of scoring Villa somehow remain joint 7th - two points behind their next opponents Sheffield Wednesday, who are the only team to score more goals than Villa so far in 1931-32 with 27.
