Villa on scoring spree
In the English Premiership Aston Villa scored five goals past local rivals Birmingham to bring their tally to 15 goals over three consecutive games.
Three weeks ago Villa beat Bolton 4 nil and then a week later they beat already relegated Derby County 6 nil to make it ten goals in two matches.
This is very good streak to score 15 goals in three consecutive matches and no other team has managed to do that so far this season.
The next best three consecutive games tally was achieved by Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs who both scored 12.
Manchester United scored a total of 12 goals in three consecutive games in October.
In that streak Sir Alex Ferguson's team beat Wigan 4-0 and this was then followed by two 4-1 victories over Aston Villa and Middlesbrough.
Spurs also did the same in December when first they beat Fulham 5-1 followed by a 6-4 win over Reading and a 2-1 loss to Villa.
Next for Villa is Everton away and that doesn't look like a match were they will score four or more goals but Everton will have to be on their guard to avoid that and maintain fifth place.


Good form for Villa but without taking anything from their achievement it must be pointed out that they have scored all these goals against teams in the relegation zone. The Everton match will be a true test for them.
