On This Day
Dave Gibson delivers his third goal involvement in two games as Mick Wright proves a defensive hero after clearing off the line before leaving the field injured but despite Villaโs domination they can only draw with Rovers as future Villa winger Ray Graydon scores the equaliser to leave Vic Croweโs side unbeaten in six but back to second in the table after Fulhamโs win earlier in the week.
Vic Crowe's Villa are held by Bristol Rovers at Villa Park to make it six wins, three draws and a defeat in ten division three games so far this season.
