Villa Park
Villa earn their fourth point in five games under Vic Crowe as they win for the first time under his leadership to close the gap to safety to two points with a game in hand over their defeated opponents, second from bottom Charlton. This was Villa’s first win since beating Bolton under Tommy Docherty in November. Since that last victory, Docherty had delivered just a single point in five games before Vic Crowe’s arrival. Recovery from the position Crowe had inherited remained extremely unlikely but at least Villa were now competing again.
