On This Day
Villa's season begins to pick up momentum as big spending Everton are beaten at Villa Park to lift Joe Mercer's men to 9th in the table.
Joe Mercer's Villa make it successive League wins in the top flight for the first time this season and the first time since March 1959. As a result Villa make it three wins, all at home, and two defeats, both away, on their return to the top flight with thirteen goals scored and fifteen conceded. Villa's latest win is just their thirteenth in thirty three top flight games under Mercer.
