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 Thomson smacked the ball home past Trautmann.
eight minutes later Trautmann totally mis-read another corner and Burrows scored to make it 2-0.
