On This Day
Jimmy Cumbes, not always a โkeeper to inspire complete confidence, drops another clanger and Villa are left with just a point from a trip to Bloomfield Road after Alun Evansโ opener. But Villa stop a run of three defeats in all competitions as hope returns that Vic Croweโs side can recover their early season form after their recent blip. Having played their games in hand however, it is now a straight fight for points.
Vic Crowe's Villa score for the first time in four games to stop a run of three successive losses and make it seven wins, three draws and three defeats in thirteen matches.
