🟩 9 November 1988, FMC, Villa 6-0 Birmingham, Villa Park.
ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 9 November 1988
Villa beat neighbours Birmingham for the third time this season and have now put 13 goals past the Small Heath outfit without reply.
Such is the dominance Villa once again exhibit over Birmingham that Graham Taylor makes half time changes to weaken his own team and presumably spare the opposition more humiliation than the 13-0 they had already received at Villa's hands this season.
Derek Mountfield scores his second goal in a Villa shirt and his second goal against Birmingham to make it 12 Appearances, W6 D4 L2 and 2 Goals so far in his Villa career.
