On This Day
Villa go two up in 6' through Johnny Dixon but then take their foot off the gas and don't add to the score until 64' through an open play goal from Stan Lynn.
Eric Houghton's Villa win for the first time in five to make it five wins, nine draws and twelve defeats in twenty six games this season.
