On This Day
Villa get swift revenge over Cardiff for their Ninian Park defeat but the welshmen take it in the least sportmanlike fashion possible. Villa climb to 6th.
Joe Mercer's Villa return to Villa Park to face fellow promoted side Cardiff and continue their 100% home win record to make it four wins, all at home, a draw and three defeats, all away, in eight games following their return to the top flight.
