On This Day
Villa are held at Brisbane Road as the goals, so easy to come by so often this season, are stymied by an excellent defensive performance from Orient. Cardiff hammer Lincoln to reduce Villa's lead to 1 point at the top of the table.
Joe Mercer's Villa record a rare goalless draw - their second in thirty two games - as they extend their unbeaten run to three and make it nineteen wins, seven draws and four defeats, all away, in thirty division two games so far this season as their excellent progress towards promotion from the second tier continues.
