On This Day
Last 5 Games: ๐ฉ ๐ฉ ๐ฉ ๐จ ๐จ
Villa, 2-0 up with twelve minutes of the game remaining, let in two quick goals for a second successive draw and now sit second in the table, two points behind Preston but with a game in hand. Adam Rachel had already saved a first-half penalty with the score at 1-0, but at 2-0, Sunderland converted their second spot kick of the game on 78 minutes before equalising two minutes later with neither side able to find a winner.
