ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 5 November 1960
Villa beat reigning champions Burnley as their current excellent form raises them to 6th in the table in no small part due to Gerry Hitchens' 15 goals in 16 league games so far this season.
Joe Mercer's Villa make it three successive wins for the first time this season and the first time in the top flight since April 1956. As a result, Villa make it nine wins, eight at home, a draw and six defeats, five away, in sixteen games following their return to the top flight.
