Villa extend their unbeaten run to five games but are held at home by second placed Burnley.

In their first visit to Villa Park since the War, Burnley take a two goal lead before reverting to almost continual defence against a rampant Villa side who equalise and miss a penalty.

How Villa could not be leading let alone trailing by two at half time mystified everyone in attendance but Villa were not deterred and continued their dominance but with seven men plus the goalkeeper stationed in the Burnley area, Villa could not break through until the 73' but once they did a second soon followed as George Edwards contributed his 8th goal involvement in 9 games before Trevor Ford missed the chance to secure both points from the penalty spot.
