ON THIS DAY
Monday, 27 August 1951
  • Derek Pace making his first start of the season scores early to help Villa to a second successive win as Trevor Ford is completely outshone on his first return to Villa Park.

  • Villa's win could and probably should have been significantly bigger having hit the woodwork three times and peppered Sunderland with a barrage of attacking football.
