ON THIS DAY
Monday, 6 April 1953
Villa suffer a rare defeat to Albion as their already injury stricken squad suffers more angst at the Hawthorns. After an even first half Villa effectively lose Danny Blanchflower and Ken Roberts to injury and play the half with two men incapcitated before conceding an own goal and a penalty to the hosts.
Villa see their four game unbeaten run come to an end as they make it eleven wins, eleven draws and fourteen defeats in thirty six division one games so far this season.
