ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 21 January 1956
Disgraceful first half scenes see Chelsea players surround the referee following his award of a legitimate penalty to Villa. Stan Lynn scores to give Villa a deserved lead but despite all the chances having accrued to Villa, Chelsea equalise and the teams go in all square at the interval.
Despite Villa having more than their fair share of the game in the second half, Chelsea score 3 from their limited chances to record a first win at Villa Park in 22 years.
Eric Houghton's Villa make it consecutive losses, conceding ten and scoring one to record five wins, nine draws and fourteen defeats in twenty eight games this season.
Meanwhile, centre back George Ashfield made his Villa debut after moving from Stockport County in March 1954.
