On This Day
  • Villa, searching for their first win at Turf Moor in 17 years, see Roy Chapman grab his third goal in two games since his debut as he scores a minute before the end of each half but Villa lose for the sixth time in eight under Eric Houghton.

  • Villa make it eight wins, one draw and nine defeats in eighteen division one games so far in 1953-54 as they languish in 14th.
