Villa come out on top in a nine goal thriller with Argyle as they win for the first time in six League games to make it just six wins in the last twenty three second tier games and an overall record of ten wins, eleven draws and eight defeats in twenty nine division two matches. Jimmy McMullan had recorded five wins, five draws and three defeats in his thirteen division two matches in charge and his successor Jimmy Hogan had now delivered five wins, six draws and five defeats in his sixteen game spell. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Harry Morton made the last of his 207 appearances for Villa aged 28 before moving on to Everton in March 1937 with and appearance record second only to Billy George.
