On This Day
Fulham turn the tables on Villa and score early but Joe Mercer's men are made of sterner stuff and eventually record a comfortable win to consolidate 6th place in the table.
Joe Mercer's Villa return to League action and extend their unbeaten run to six games as they beat Fulham at Villa Park. As a result, Villa make it ten wins, nine at home, two draws, both away and six defeats, five away, in eighteen games following their return to the top flight.
