On This Day
Villa, out of sorts and appearing to still be pre-occupied by their controversial defeat last time out and just two days before cannot repeat the high quality of their performance on Friday at White Hart Lane but manage to at least secure a point in their renewed battle against relegation. Villa remain 20th and up next is 21st placed Leicester City, two points behind Joe Mercer's men.
Joe Mercer's Villa stop a run of two defeats as they eke out a draw and collected a much needed point to make it eleven wins, five draws and twenty losses in thirty six division one games with six games left to play and a tight fight to avoid relegation continues.
