ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 4 October 1958
Villa win consecutive games for the first time this season but slump to the bottom of the table despite Ken Barrett's debut brace.
Eric Houghton's Villa reverse the form book as they win successive games having lost their previous six to make it three wins, two draws and six defeats in eleven division one games so far this season.
Meanwhile, winger Ken Barrett made a goalscoring debut for Villa aged 20 - scoring twice - after moving from Stoke Works, Bromsgrove in January 1957.
