Villaโs fifth successive draw ensures safety for Marcus Bignot's side, as they also leapfrogged Birmingham City on the final day of the WSL season.
Villa, though, had got lucky in a game they had faced 18 shots to their 2, and even more fortunate that their failed experiment of demoting Gemma Davies had not resulted in relegation.
Relieved of duties shortly after the season ended, Bignot delivered five goals in twelve games (0.42) and eight points (0.67). Ironically, Davies had bettered both those at 0.45 and 0.77, and there is little doubt that her continued presence in the dug-out would have secured safety sooner.
Davies and Womenโs Sporting Director Eniola Aluko were also shown the door alongside Bignot. Only one of them deserved sympathy and applause.
Asmita Ale, Nadine Hanssen, Mana Iwabuchi, Emily Syme, Stine Larsen, Lisa Weiร and Amy West make their final appearances for Villa.
Lisa Weiร ended the season as the leading appearance maker, failing to start just one match on the opening day of the campaign.
Ramona Petzelberger top-scored for Villa with three WSL goals, the last of which were scored in the seventh game of the season.
