On This Day
Villa sweep aside Ipswich with embarrassing ease to make it five wins in seven at the start of the 1959-60 campaign and climb to the summit of the table for the first time.
Joe Mercer's Villa extend their unbeaten run to five and make it five wins, a draw and a defeat in seven division two games so far this season as their excellent start to life in the second tier continues.
