ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 5 November 1966
Having been embarrassed in the League Cup by Albion earlier in the season, Villa’s utterly perplexing form under Dick Taylor surprises again as his charges race into a three goal lead and look like exacting like for like revenge on their neighbours. But two goals in the last minute keep the game alive until the last.
Dick Taylor's wildly inconsistent Villa record a third win in five after losing their previous four to make it five wins, two draws and eight defeats in fifteen League games so far this season.
