On This Day
Saturday, 24 January 1953
Tommy Thompson scored for the sixth time in seven games.
Villa need a late equaliser to draw at home with Chelsea but George Martin's Villa extend their unbeaten run to six in all competitions as they make it seven wins, nine draws and nine defeats in twenty five division one games so far this season.
