Villa scored 128 league goals in 42 matches, a First Division record.[1] Villa's Pongo Waring finished as the leagues top scorer with 49 goals,[2] overshadowing Eric Houghton who scored 30 goals.[3] As of 2023, this remains the Villa record season for goals scored.[4]
Villa started the season with four successive league wins, a record not matched until the 2020–21 season.[5] On 17 January 1931 Villa beat Bolton 3-1.[6][7] They would go on to win their eight remaining home games and thus had nine consecutive home wins to end the season.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Other notable statistics included inflicting a 7-0 victory over Manchester United, the joint-heaviest competitive defeat for that club[16] In the Second City derby, following a 1-1 home draw,[17] Villa beat Birmingham 4-0 at St Andrews with goals by Joe Beresford, Eric Houghton, Jack Mandley and Joe Tate.[18]
There were debuts for Tommy Wood (71), Reg Miles (16) and Percy Maggs (14).[19] After a trial with Villa in October 1930, goalkeeper, Harry Morton (192) was signed as an amateur and made his club debut for the reserves in a Central League game against Everton Reserves on 22 November 1930. He went on to sign as a professional in March 1931. Richard York (356) played just four times in the 1930–31 campaign.[20]
