ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 9 December 1961

  • Joe Mercer’s Villa gain speedy revenge over the side that knocked them out of the League Cup the previous month as they hammer Ipswich - a side that, come season end, would win their first League title. As a result Villa make it three successive League wins and a fourth in five matches to make it nine wins, four draws and seven defeats in twenty Division One games this season.

  • Villa make it three wins from three and move to 7th in the table as they partially avenge their undeserved defeat to Ipswich in the League Cup a couple of games before. Once again it's the returning Derek Dougan who inspires Villa to a dominant performance and another well deserved two points.
