On This Day
  • Villa put three past Tottenham before conceding twice to set up another high intensity rear guard action to earn their fifth win in six first division games. Villa climb to ninth in the table alongside Arsenal as Willie Hamilton impresses once again.

  • Dick Taylor's Villa make it three consecutive wins and a sixth victory in seven as their improved form continues and Taylor's win some, lose some record carried over from 1964-65 looks to be over. As a result Villa make it five wins, a draw and four defeats in ten League games this season.
