On This Day
Villa, 0-2 down at half time, pull one back just ahead of the hour through Les Smith before Stan Lynn equalises from the spot with just over 10 minutes remaining. Five minutes from time Preston take the lead and seem destined for victory but with just 2 minutes left on the clock Peter McParland strikes to take a share of the points.
Villa secure a point at Deepdale to make it six wins, five draws and five defeats in sixteen Division One games this season under Eric Houghton.
