Aston Villa 3 Fulham 1 - Report

Victory over Fulham equalled a post-war record of 13 straight league wins at Villa Park, a sequence not seen since 1983 when the squad included Gary Shaw, now a regular at work in the press box. One more will equal the overall club record of 14, set in 1931. And next up in the league on home turf? Manchester City and Arsenal in four testing, challenging but ultimately exciting days in December. Two to look forward to.
