On This Day
Villa bounce back from their shock defeat at Anfield - their first in 15 games - with an extraordinary performance and result at Villa Park. Villa hit Charlton for 11 goals, Gerry Hitchens scores 5, and Villa record their biggest ever league win.
Joe Mercer's Villa bounce back from their second defeat in seventeen to record an astonishing win over Charlton as they hammer the Londoners eleven goals to one at Villa Park. As a result Villa make it eleven wins, five draws and two defeats in eighteen division two games so far this season as their excellent start to life in the second tier continues.
