On This Day
Villa concede a last minute free kick to Millwall that โkeeper Colin Withers canโt hold and the ball bounces off a post to gift the visitors the equaliser. It was hard lines on Withers and Villa who had pulled off some strong saves and played their best football of the season to date. Nevertheless the result leaves Tommy Cummingsโ side winless after three second division games.
Tommy Cummings' Villa draw for the second home game in succession and are now without a win in seven matches after conceding a last gasp equaliser.
