On This Day
Villa score their first goal of the season through the returning Dicky Dorsett but are without a win in their first three games of 1947-48.
Once again though the result could and should have been more as Manchester City open the scoring totally against the run of play before Dorsett misses a first half penalty for Villa.
Centre forward Bob Iverson, 36, makes the last of his 153 appearances for Villa during which time he scored 12 goals before retiring from football.
