ON THIS DAY
Monday, 23 August 1954
Villa have the chance to make amends for their their opening day defeat at Villa Park just 48 hours later as they face Sunderland at home.
Eric Houghton's Villa however can only secure a home draw despite Peter McParland scoring one and creating one as they concede a second successive own goal and a late equaliser.
