Villa have the tables turned and concede a last gasp goal to secure a point for winless Dick Taylor. After six games Villa sit on two points in 21st place.
Dick Taylor's Villa - without a win under his leadership - make it two draws and four defeats in six League games this season. As a result, Villa now have just four wins in the last thirty two matches after a torrid final twelve months under Mercer and a poor start to life under Taylor.
