Villa win at White Hart Lane for the first time in 32 years but goalscorer Lew Chatterley suffers a broken nose to join John Woodward on the sidelines after Tony Hateley at long last left the club. But it is Colin Withers who is the real hero as another show go goalkeeping excellence keeps Villa’s lead intact.
Dick Taylor's wildly inconsistent Villa record a third clean sheet and second win in four after conceding twenty and losing the previous four to make it four wins, two draws and eight defeats in fourteen League games so far this season.

"No team could have tried harder than my boys did. and I still have now signings Broadbent and Woodward to step in."
Dick Taylor.
“I can't understand why I was left out. I thought I was playing well.
"I have not been able to command a regular first team place since I have been at Villa Park and I don't think it's doing my confidence any good to be in and out of the side."
Dave Pountney puts in a transfer request.
