On This Day
"For 80 minutes [Villa] reduced Spurs to a state of irritated impotence." But the reigning champions score late to send Villa back down to 18th in the table still having not played their two games in hand.
Joe Mercerโs Villa fail to score for the second time in nine League games to make it three wins, two draws and four defeats in nine Division One games this season.
