Villa batter one off champions Tottenham but cannot make their huge superiority count, having to settle for one point rather than the deserved two.
Joe Mercer’s Villa extend their unbeaten run to five including four in League but fail to score for the first time in that spell as they make it eleven wins, seven draws and eleven defeats in twenty nine Division One games this season.
