On This Day
A terrible refereeing performance cannot stop Villa as they trounce an opportunistic Manchester City side who without the official's help would never even have been in the game.
Joe Mercer's Villa extend their unbeaten run to nine games with seven wins as they hammer Manchester minnows City to make it twelve wins, ten at home, two draws, both away and six defeats, five away, in twenty games following their return to the top flight.
