ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 21 October 1950

  • Villa, now with a single win in twelve games under the management committee structure, manage to draw at home to leaders Arsenal, in what the win against then leaders Newcastle  apart is probably their best performance of the season.

  • Villa however concede first for the ninth time in 12 games but are the better side for much of the game and get a deserved second half equaliser.

  • Winger Geoff Sellars makes his Villa debut after joining from Leeds United in August 1950.
