On This Day
1-5 down at White Hart Lane and Villa draw 5-5 and could have, and probably should have, won it 5-6 in the last minutes but for Alan Deakin's late miss. Credit must go to the much mocked Tony Hateley - his aerial ability was simply unplayable.
Dick Taylor's wildly inconsistent Villa score five away from home but concede five to make it fourteen goals against in three games and twelve wins, four draws and seventeen defeats in thirty three League matches.
