In the Women's Super League, Rachel Daly scored three times to lead Villa to a victory over Reading.
Lauren Wade gave Reading an early lead, but Daly scored two headed goals to give Villa the lead before the break.
The afternoon went from bad to worse after Burns was sent off for a foul on Hanson.
She beat Moloney from the spot.
With 12 points, Villa is fifth in the WSL. They are second- bottom with three.
A club who only managed 13 in total last season has already gotten eight points from the England international.
The versatile player, who has been used as a full-back for England, now leads the WSL's goal scoring chart.
She's not a defender, she's a centre forward, that's what the Villa boss claimed earlier in the season.
Wade's opener gave hope to the visitors, but their hopes of a second win of the season were dashed by the half-time break.
She met a well-guided cross from Rachel Corsie to net her first goal of the game, but the ball went off a Royals player and into the net.
Moloney appeared in a Royals shirt for the first time in nine months after Burns was ejected.
After coming on, she was beaten from the spot by the Villa player.
The Villa forward had the ball in the back of the net again, but she was ruled to have been in an area where she wasn't legally allowed to be.
