ON THIS DAY
Monday, 26 August 1957
Villa toil to victory against the vile thuggery of dirty Leeds to secure their first points of the campaign but do so at the cost of injuries, inflicted by the opposition, on both Smith and Dugdale.
Eric Houghton's Villa secure their first win of the season as they beat a Leeds side at Villa Park who had finished two places above Villa in 1956-57.
