On This Day
Saturday, 18 April 1953
Johnny Dixon scores a brace to help Villa earn a first win in four and now have one defeat in their last seven. But Villa go in at the break 1-3 behind and put on an attacking display of the finest quality to lead by 80' on the way to victory.
Villa make it twelve wins, thirteen draws and fourteen defeats in thirty nine division one games so far this season.
Villa climb to joint 13th.
