On This Day
Billy Walker scores a brace as Villa extend their unbeaten run to nine but they are held neighbours Birmingham at Villa Park after Cyril Spiers scores his second own goal of the season to hand the visitors a late draw.
The game is notable less for the comeback from 3-0 down by neighbours Birmingham but more for their poor sportsmanship both in sustained and unwarranted protests against Villa's goals and repeated foul play necessitating referee Pennington to talk to the visiting players on numerous occasions.
Villa make it five wins, five draws and a defeat in their eleven division one matches.
Villa drop to joint third, two points off leaders Sunderland but with a game in hand.
