ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 29 October 1960
Villa, without the scoreline, rip another neighbour apart after the 6-goal mauling of Birmingham last time out. This time it's Albion who are taken apart in the most one-sided 2-0 away win imaginable. Albion for their part try to turn the game into a defensive brawl... Villa have other ideas.
Joe Mercer's Villa make it successive wins against their neighbours as fresh from their thrashing of Birmingham they win their first away game of the season at the Hawthorns. As a result, Villa make it eight wins, seven at home, a draw and six defeats, five away, in fifteen games following their return to the top flight.
