ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 4 September 1957
A terrible back pass in the first half and three goals in as many minutes in the second leave Villa in tatters and with three defeats in four first division games so far this season.
Eric Houghton's Villa lose for the third time this season as they suffer a heavy defeat at Elland Road to make it a single win and three defeats in four division one games as a poor start to the campaign continues.
