On This Day
  • Villa can do nothing more than take a point from third from bottom Leeds to leave Eric Houghton's team 3 points adrift at the foot of the table as Peter McParland agitates for a move away.

  • Eric Houghton's Villa earn a welcome draw to make it three wins, three draws and seven defeats in thirteen division one games so far this season.
