On This Day
Villa record their biggest win since January 1968 as they extend their unbeaten League run to four games with another Brian Godfrey inspired performance. Villa however remain bottom of the table but share last place with Millwall with Tommy Dochertyโs side ahead on goal average.
Tommy Docherty's Villa make it two wins, four draws and seven losses in thirteen division two games so far this season. As a result of their second league victory of the season against fifth placed Huddersfield, Villa climb off the bottom of the table.
