On This Day
Villa move into joint second place with QPR, two points behind leaders Burnley, despite being held at home by Boro as they cannot break down another ultra defensive visitor to Villa Park.
Vic Crowe's Villa make it eight wins, four draws and three defeats in fifteen League games and sit third in Division Two (Played 15, Points 20), two points off leaders Burnley (Played 15, Points 22).
