On This Day
Villa recover from two down as they score for the first time in three and score two for the first time in eight as they are held by the team with three names.
Pongo Waring scores his fourteenth of the campaign but Villa's winless run extends to seven, losing four.
As a result Villa make it eight wins, six draws and nine defeats in twenty three under Jimmy McMullan.
Villa now have two clean sheets in twenty three games under McMullan, conceding 54.
Centre back Alec Talbot made the last of his 264 appearances for Villa aged 32 before moving on to Bradford Park Avenue in June 1935.
