On This Day
Villa find a way to win at Leeds Road to consolidate their place at the top of the table after seven wins in nine second division games.
Joe Mercer's Villa extend their unbeaten run to seven as they win four consecutive League games for the first time since 1956 to make it seven wins, a draw and a defeat in nine division two games so far this season as their excellent start to life in the second tier continues.
