Match Media
On This Day
  • Villa win for the first time in six and astonishingly the first time in five years against Everton to prematurely end 1965 on a relative high in 12th place.

  • Dick Taylor's wildly inconsistent Villa score three goals for the second successive game but hold on this time to win for the first time in seven and make it eight wins, two draws and eleven defeats in twenty one League matches.
