On This Day
Villa's terrible run looks like it will extend to five successive defeats under Eric Houghton but Davy Walsh scores his ninth goal in eleven as Villa recover from 0-3 down draw for the first time this season.
Villa end a run of four defeats and make it seven wins, one draw and seven defeats in fifteen division one games so far this season.
Full back Harry Parkes makes his 450th appearance in a Villa shirt.
