On This Day
Villa make it two games unbeaten but concede a point after Tommy Mitchinson, who had played a superb match otherwise, handled a goal bound shot to concede a penalty and second equaliser. Villa drop one place to fourteenth in the table but increase the gap to the relegation places to six points.
Tommy Cummings' Villa make two unbeaten and fourteen wins, four draws and seventeen defeats in thirty five League games so far this season.
