On This Day
Villa win three successive games for the first time in 1950-51 as Davy Walsh scores his first goal for the club and Tommy Thompson scores one and creates one.
Villa remain 20th under George Martin but open a 5 point gap to their defeated opponents and Chelsea at the bottom of the table.
