On This Day
Tuesday, 11 September 1973
Villa are held to a goalless draw at Selhurst to leave them with two wins and two draws to start the season. Villa show a different side to their game however as they appear happy to take a point on the road against lowly Palace and end up reliant on โkeeper Jimmy Cumbes to come away with a point on a pitch reduced in width by spoiling manager Malcolm Allison. Villa remain joint top alongside next opponents Middlesbrough.
Vic Crowe's Villa remain unbeaten in the League this season with two wins and two draws.
