ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 1 September 1951
  • Villa take a 2-0 lead for the forth successive game but unlike their previous two the opposition hit back to draw as they benefit from a soft penalty and a large dose of good fortune to prevent Villa making it three successive wins in four games so far in 1951-52.

  • Derek Pace scores for the second game in succession.

  • Villa make it three unbeaten with two wins, one draw and a defeat in four division one games so far this season.
