On This Day
Villa set a Division Two League record attendance of 68,029 for the top of the table clash with Coventry.
Eric Houghton scores direct from a free kick for his fifth goal in as many games but Villa are held at home by the leaders and although they extend their unbeaten run to three and have eight wins, two draws and three defeats in thirteen division two games under Jimmy Hogan, they climb to joint second place alongside Sheffield United but remain two points behind their opponents.
The game itself is a full throttle assault by Villa versus a Coventry rearguard action.
