  • Villa are held by a late goal at Ayresome Park but climb to 4th in the table, nine points off QPR in second place and twelve behind leaders Burnley. On the terraces however a few Villa fans embarrass themselves with a needless petition to remove boss Vic Crowe.

  • Vic Crowe's Villa make it fourteen wins, twelve draws and eight defeats in thirty four League games. Meanwhile, John Hickton became the first substitute to score against Villa.
