On This Day
Villa, unbeaten in six, are held at the City Ground as despite running the game for 75โ lose concentration and allow Forest to equalise and share the points. As a result Villa fall back to joint third in the table with one game in hand over second placed Wednesday and two games in hand on new leaders Burnley - the side who have inflicted Villaโs only defeat this season.
Vic Crowe's Villa make it five wins, two draws and a defeat in the League so far this season.
