ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 4 December 1965
Dick Taylor's Villa score three goals for the first time since September but can only draw as they are now without a win in six to make it seven wins, two draws and eleven defeats in twenty League matches.
Villa stop the rot after four consecutive defeats but it could have been so much more as they led 3-1 at Highbury with just six minutes left to play.
