On This Day
Villa climb 6 places in the table as they win for the first time in six Championship games and for the first time since hitting an injury time winner in the second game of the season.
The reaction from Steve Bruce to the win against a side who would be relegated at the season end simply underlined the concern that the Villa boss was no longer thinking clearly or objectively in his role.
Tammy Abraham scores his first goal and collects his first caution in a Villa shirt on his second appearance to make it W1 D1 L0, 1 Goal and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
Yannick Bolasie scores his first goal in a Villa shirt on his second appearance (0 Starts) to make it W1 D1 L0 and 1 Goal so far in his Villa career.
Ørjan Nyland keeps his 1st clean sheet on his 7th appearance to make it W2 D4 L1, 11 Goals Conceded and 1 Clean Sheet so far in his Villa career.
Jonathan Kodjia contributes his 6th Assist in a Villa shirt on his 63rd appearance (52 Starts) to make it W27 D19 L17, 23 Goals, 6 Assists, 9 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

On This Day
Villa secure their first second tier win since beating Bradford City 1-0 on Monday, 2 May 1988.
Centre back James Chester makes his debut for Villa aged 27 after joining from West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £8,370,000 earlier his month to become the 893rd player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Jack Grealish scores his 2nd goal in a Villa shirt on his 49th appearance (24 Starts) to make it W16 D4 L29, 2 Goals, 5 Assists, 4 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Pierluigi Gollini keeps his first clean sheet in a Villa shirt on his 2nd appearance to make it W1 D0 L1, 1 Goal Conceded, 1 Clean Sheet so far in his Villa career.
Winger Adama Traoré made his final appearance for Villa aged 20 before moving on to Middlesbrough for a fee of £7,430,000 later this month. Traoré made 1 start, 11 substitute appearances and scored once. Villa had paid Barcelona a scarcely believable £9,000,000 for Traoré’s services a year earlier in August 2015. Villa wouldn’t be the last club to spend big on this most ineffective and disruptive of players who left with a record of W2 D1 L9, 1 Goal, 1 Assist and 1 Booking.
Ross McCormack’s first three games following his £12,870,000 move have now contributed no goals, one assist, two bookings and a half time hook to leave a record of W1 D0 L2 so far in his Villa career.
Aly Cissokho contributes his 1st assist in a Villa shirt on his 48th appearance (47 Starts) to make it W10 D9 L29, 1 Assist, 4 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

On This Day
Villa see off newly promoted League One side Rotherham in the 2nd round of the League Cup.
Following the giant killings suffered at the hands of League Two Doncaster and Championship side Millwall in 2012-13, Paul Lambert's Villa make short work of League One Rotherham in more signs that the season could prove far better than the last.
Jed Steer makes his debut in a Villa shirt after his move from Norwich in July to become the 861st player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Joe Bennett secures his 10th win in a Villa shirt on his 31st appearance (27 Starts) to make it W10 D7 L14, 3 Assists, 5 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

On This Day
Joe Mercer's Villa suffer a shock defeat - just their third in twenty one - as they are beaten by Rotherham and make it thirteen wins, five draws and three defeats in twenty one division two games so far this season. Meanwhile, Alan Deakin made his Villa debut aged 18 after joining from school football in 1956.
Villa have Jimmy MacEwan wrongly sent off for an offence that he did not commit and which did not take place, and just as in their defeat at Anfield it's a former player - then Dave Hickson, this time Billy Myerscough - who takes the points.
Villa, having had the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table to five points are pegged back to a single point but the hierarchy will be appealing the referee's poor decision that left an already depleted Villa down to 10 men for all but four minutes of the second half.
The challenges though still keep coming thick and fast - next up is third placed Cardiff, level on points with Rotherham.
