On This Day
Derek Pace scores a brace to make it five goals in four games since his return to the side and help Villa to a 5-1 lead at half time.
Villa had held championship chasing West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns on the previous day but now ripped the title charges to shreds as they recorded their biggest win of the season.
Villa go five games unbeaten
Villa make it fifteen wins, nine draws and sixteen losses in forty division one games.
Meanwhile Villa's win means Albion are unable to win the Champtionship and gifts the title to Wolves, Villa however would far prefer to have been challenging for the title themselves than being inadvertant deciders.

On This Day
Villa play their final game of the 1953-54 season 24 hours after their penultimate game having trailed the remainder of the league on games played throughout the latter part of the season.
Villa end the season on defeat despite Derek Pace scoring his third goal in three but the defeat should never have been after not only having the balance of play, having played the better football throughout, the referee awards Wednesday an 80' winner that his linesman deems offside and whose protestations - and those of the Villa team - are waved aside.
In truth it doesn't really matter as Villa finish a poor campaign in 13th in what proved to be Eric Houghton's patchy first season in charge.
Villa end a run of six games unbeaten to make it sixteen wins, nine draws and seventeen losses in their forty two division one games in 1953-54.

On This Day
A goalkeeping error from Dennis Parsons gifts Newcastle the lead but it's the downright thuggery from the visitors that takes the headlines.
Referee Topliss however is unable to get a grip or stamp any sort of authority on proceedings and so, predictably, as the game progresses so does Newcastle's escalation in wreckless tackles.
Eric Houghton's Villa make it two wins, two draws and four losses after eight division one games
