On This Day
Joe Beresford hits two as Villa score five at Upton Park but are held to a a draw but that only tells some of the story..
Terrible conditions, forwards dominating as defenders struggle for control, it's to and fro until West Ham take a convincing 5-3 lead into the interval.
Villa though come out and win the second half to equalise on 61' but amazingly despite 10 goals in the first hour, the final 30 minutes sees no addition to the score and a classic is born.
Villa hit five away from home but are held at Upton Park to make it twelve wins, seven draws and six defeats in their twenty five division one games having scored SEVENTY TWO goals.
Villa score four or more for the tenth time in 25 games this season, having scored five twice, six twice & seven once.
