On This Day
One step forward, two steps back as Villa play a top four side for the third successive game but can't reproduce their form from the previous two as they are well beaten narrowly by a Luton side undefeated at home so far this season. Villa drop back to 21st in the table.
Eric Houghton's Villa lose for the ninth time in fourteen to make it four wins, three draws and nine defeats in sixteen division one games so far this season.
Meanwhile, Ken Barrett made his fifth and final Villa appearance aged 20 before moving on to Lincoln City in June 1959.
