ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 19 October 1957
Villa's first win in four should be more comfortable that it proves as two late Newcastle goals threaten to cancel out Villa's Billy Myerscough inspired performance.
Eric Houghton's Villa win for the first time in four to end a run of three successive losses and make it four wins, two draws and eight defeats in fourteen division one games this season.
