Villa climb to 11th in the table alongside Everton, Arsenal, Sunderland and Manchester United after winning their third successive game under Dick Taylor. Willie Hamilton impresses again as his slalom run puts Villa ahead before creating Phil Woosnam’s goal and completing his ‘hat-trick’ with the cross that provides Bobby Park’s latest goal.
Dick Taylor's Villa see their form transformed as they win three successive division one games for the first time since his appointment in 1964 to make it three wins, a draw and three defeats in seven League games this season.
