Possession without penetration costs Villa again as high-flying Burnley swoop on Villa Park and do just enough to take both points.
Joe Mercer’s Villa lose for the second time in eight League games to make it fourteen wins, seven draws and thirteen defeats in thirty four Division One games this season.
Meanwhile, forward Jimmy McMorran made his final appearance for Villa aged 19 before moving on to Third Lanark in February 1963. McMorran played for Villa in 1960-61 and 1961-62 making 14 appearances, scoring once.
