On This Day
Villa's crazy season continues as they batter 3rd place Manchester United at Villa Park, taking the lead after 35 seconds on route to a 4-0 triumph. Denis Law embarrasses himself again whilst it's clear for all to see that Joe Mercer genuinely does not know what Villa side will turn up game to game.
Joe Mercer's Villa continue their inconsistent season, winning for the third time in ten, equalling their biggest victory of the season to make it seven wins, a draw and ten defeats in eighteen League games.
