On This Day
Saturday, 30 September 1950
Villa's horrendous run under the misguided management committee structure continues as they extend their winless run to nine and fall to their fifth defeat.
But Villa score first for the first time in nine games as Tommy Thompson hits his first goal in a Villa shirt on his second appearance. Thompson also sets up Les Smith for Villa's second as fellow centre forward Trevor Ford contributes just his second goal involvement of the campaign.
