ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 7 September 1957
Another poor back pass - seemingly becoming a habit for Eric Houghton's side - gifts the opposition a goal once again but somehow Villa survive the battering they receive to leave Roker with a point. Villa then have three points from five games, few would be able to argue if it had been zero.
Eric Houghton's Villa gain a precious point as they hold Sunderland at Roker Park to make it one win, one draw and three defeats in five division one games this season.
