On This Day
Villa concede a last gasp equaliser at the Victoria Ground but move three points clear at the top of the table.
Joe Mercer's Villa extend their unbeaten run to nine but are held to a draw at Stoke as they make it eight wins, two draws and a defeat in eleven division two games so far this season as their excellent start to life in the second tier continues.
