ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 20 April 1954
Derek Pace scores a brace to make it five goals in four games since his return to the side and help Villa to a 5-1 lead at half time.
Villa had held championship chasing West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns on the previous day but now ripped the title charges to shreds as they recorded their biggest win of the season.
Villa go five games unbeaten
Villa make it fifteen wins, nine draws and sixteen losses in forty division one games.
Meanwhile Villa's win means Albion are unable to win the Champtionship and gifts the title to Wolves, Villa however would far prefer to have been challenging for the title themselves than being inadvertant deciders.
