ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 24 September 1966
Villa concede their seventeen goal in three games to make it seven defeats in ten games, a fifth game without scoring, and five points from a possibly eighteen to leave Dick Taylor’s hapless side 20th in the table and only out of the relegation places on goal average.
Dick Taylor's Villa concede seventeen goals in three games as they are hammered for the third successive game - with former Villa player Derek Dougan hitting a hat-trick - to make it two wins, one draw and six defeats in nine League games so far this season.
