Match Media
On This Day
  • After a strong run into 6th position Villa end the 1951-52 first division campaign with their biggest defeat of the season as they ship six at Newcastle.

  • Frustratingly, as had been seen so often in the Autumn, Villa had their fair share of the game but a failure to take chances and a smattering of ill-luck, whilst the opposition struck without mercy reared its ugly head once again.

  • Despite the setback, Villa end the season in sixth having recorded nineteen wins, nine draws and fourteen defeats in their forty two division one games.
