Villa concede a first minute goal away from home for the second successive game but unlike at Roker Park, misfortune and injuries do not betray them and they fight back for a deserved second win in three games.
Winger Arthur Haynes, 22, makes his fourth and final Villa appearance before moving on to Walsall in June 1948.
