5-1 thriller misses out on top spot in five greatest Aston Villa wins v Birmingham

2. Villa 5-1 Blues, 2008

Imagine qualifying for Europe while seeing your bitter rivals relegated.

That’s what happened in the 2007/08 Premier League season as Aston Villa absolutely thumped Birmingham at Villa Park.

Ashley Young and John Carew both got a brace while derby day specialist Agbonlahor was also on the scoresheet to round off one of the most one-sided Second City derbies in history.

Blues finished that season second-bottom, spared only of a 20th placed finished by Derby who amounted just 11 points.
