MATCH SUMMARY

Villa are held by Albion at Villa Park but climb back to joint twelfth in the table with Manchester United.

Meanwhile tedious Tony Hateley pushes for a transfer once again, Hateley a goalscorer but one of the most limited footballers to ever pull on a claret and blue jersey, continues to hawk himself around the League but there are conspicuously few takers for a player his team-mates have to compensate for so often.
