ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 5 October 1957
  • Villa, shorn of desperately needed quality, are beaten heavily for the second successive game.

  • Eric Houghton's Villa lose successive games and have now conceded eight goals in the last two matches to make it three wins, two draws and seven defeats in twelve division one games this season. Meanwhile winger Jackie Hinchcliffe contributes an assist on debut for Derek Pace's consolation goal.
