ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 14 March 1962
Same story different game. Dominating possession but needing a late spectacular to make it count. Injuries are a concern too as a host of players pick up knocks from the 'competitive' nature of the match.
Joe Mercer’s Villa extend their League winning form to four in the last six to make it thirteen wins, seven draws and twelve defeats in thirty two Division One games this season.
