ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 30 August 1958
Villa are well beaten by halftime by a West Ham who move the ball with an "effervesence rarely seen".
Eric Houghton's Villa's eight game unbeaten run including the end of the 1957-58 campaign comes crashing down as they are annihilated at Upton Park, shipping seven goals and making it one win, one draw and one defeat in three division one games so far this season.
