ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 15 April 1952
Villa face Chelsea on successive days and play their third game in four days but it is no problem as they record their biggest win of the season - putting seven goals past Chelsea at Villa Park.
It should have been eight and a clean sheet however as Harry Parkes missed a penalty and Chelsea scored in the dying moments direct from a corner.
Villa have now scored 17 goals in their last 5 games.
Villa's victory is their biggest post war league win to date, it is also Villa's biggest top flight home win in 21 years having previously beaten Boro 7-1 on Christmas Day in 1931.
Villa had also beaten Stockport by the same score in the 1937-38 Division two season and put seven past Sunderland in the FA Cup 4th round in 1934 before their nine goals against Millwall in 1946.
Villa make it seventeen wins, nine draws and thirteen defeats in thirty nine division one games so far this season.
