On This Day
Blackpool join Villa in third place as the gap to the top remains six points after Villa draw for the third successive time in five unbeaten games.
Vic Crowe's Villa make it five games unbeaten but can only draw for the third successive match to make it ten wins, ten draws and four defeats in twenty four League games.
What they Said
"We came with the intention of getting two points but I was very pleased with the way we came back after Huddersfield had scored."
Vic Crowe.
