MATCH SUMMARY
Villa, without the scoreline, rip another neighbour apart after the 6-goal mauling of Birmingham last time out. This time it's Albion who are taken apart in the most one-sided 2-0 away win imaginable. Albion for their part try to turn the game into a defensive brawl... Villa have other ideas.
KEY MAN
Gerry Hitchens, scored his thirteen in sixteen as Villa win their first away game of the season at the Hawthorns, Saturday, 29 October 1960.
