ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 24 September 1960

  • On paper another heavy defeat, and that was what the scoreline suggested, the reality was different however as Spurs, winning their 10th League game in a row, were taken all the way by Villa but nothing could match the superlative attacking skills of the North London side.

  • Joe Mercer's Villa lose on the road for the fourth time in five and have now suffered 2-5; 3-5; 1-4 and 2-6 defeats, conceding twenty whilst scoring eight. That form stands in stark contrast to Villa's 100% win record at home. As a result, Villa make it five wins, all at home, a draw and four defeats, all away, in ten games following their return to the top flight.
