City Trautmann, Betts, Kennedy, Benson, Plenderleith, Oakes, Young, Dobing, Harley, Shawcross, Wagstaffe

City started well, but against an athletic Villa side they failed to really test the Villain’s goal.
It fell to Villa 17 minutes into the second half to take the lead as a corner from Burrows caused confusion in the box, and Thomsson smacked the ball home past Tratmann.
eight minutes later Trautmann totally mis-read another corner and Burrows scored to make it 2-0.
