ON THIS DAY
Monday, 23 April 1962
Villa hit another five goals to make it 21 in five games as they climb back to 6th in the table. A moot point but just where would Villa be in the table if those goals had been shared out throughout the season where they dominated play without troubling the scoreboard.
Joe Mercer’s Villa extend their League winning form to nine in the last thirteen as they follow up their humiliation of Leicester with another resounding Villa Park win as they put five past Forest to make it thirteen goals scored in two games. As a result, Villa make it eighteen wins, seven draws and fourteen defeats in thirty nine Division One games this season as they look to end their best season yet under Joe Mercer on a high.
