On This Day
Villa manage to score as many goals in as they had managed in their previous eight games but still they cannot win as they make it 10 winless games in a row.
Johnny Dixon scores his 5th and 6th goals of the season but his first since August to put Villa two ahead in 16' but somehow Villa find themselves 2-4 behind after 54' and staring a fourth consecutive defeat in the face.
Villa had other ideas though as the hitherto failure of a signing Dave Hickson scored his first goal on 60' before Pat Saward on debut hit the equalising goal.
Eric Houghton's Villa end a run of three successive defeats.
Pat Saward makes a goalscoring debut after moving from Millwall in August 1955
