For the first time this season Villa dominate a League match but despite an improved performance they leave Ayresome Park still with one goal and one point in the second division and bottom of the table.
Tommy Docherty's terrible start to the season continues as Villa fail to score for the third successive game and make it one draw and five losses in six division two games so far this season sat bottom of the table in 22nd place with a single point and 1 goal.
