On This Day
  • Villa dominate Chester but are held at Sealand Road despite Ray Graydon's 30th of the season but the second leg at Villa Park is expected to be a formality. What isn't in doubt however is that Villa are unbeaten in three in all competitions in 1975.

  • Ron Saunders' Villa take the advantage over fourth division side Chester ahead of the League Cup semi final second leg at Villa Park.

What they Said

Fourth Division Chester twice forced their way back at Sealand Road last night - but Villa are now odds-on favourites to reach their fourth League Cup final.

It wasnโ€™t much of a night for giant-killing. Although Chester tried their best on a strength sapping pitch they were matched in effort by Villa and more than outplayed.

The home side scored two untidy equalisers through Tommy Owen, in the 44th minute, and substitute Gary Moore 11 minutes from time - but they were lucky not to conceded more than two to Villa.

Villaโ€™s first was scored by 19 year old Bobby McDonald on his League Cup debut from a free kick by Ray Graydon after 15 minutes and then Graydon scored his 30th goal of the season after 50 minutes.

McDonaldโ€™s goal was the first time Chester had been behind in this competition this season, and as a Chester supporter morosely remarked, Villa had achieved something in a quarter of a hour that Leeds and Newcastle could not do between them.

The pattern followed Villaโ€™s earlier rounds on Fourth Division grounds at Crewe at Hartlepool.

They were pulled back then but they took their opponents to Villa Park confident that at home they would win.

Now Chester go there in the second leg of this semi final next Wednesday and only their most one eyed supporter give them much hope.

Sandwiched between Graydonโ€™s telling contributions was the first goal which revitalised the Chester supporters, the equaliser which restoked the atmosphere the pitch had attained at the start.

To say it was a scruffy goal is an understatement, but it came on the stroke of half-time and gave the home side a psychological advantage to take to the dressing room.

It started with Derek Draper taking John Jamesโ€™ pass into the goal area, holding off Ian Ross, and starting what in a rugby match would have been second phase possession with a maul.

Ross tackled him, Chris Nicholl tried to clear and Jim Cumbes piled into the ruck. It was then that Owen arrived and the ball seemed to bounce off him and roll slowly over the line.

The Villa defence had wobbled once or twice before this.

A shot from Nigel Edwards had hit James and Cumbes had to make a brilliant reaction save after his co-defenders had been slow to pick up Ian Seddon 20 yardโ€™s out.

Chester, motivated by the capacity crowd, used simple tactics - rushing forward at every opportunity, diving into the penalty area in numbers and always at top speed, often too fast.

But for all the Fourth Division sideโ€™s energy, Villa were the better team. They equalled Chester for running and their football was more subtle. Their moves were put together with greater care and skill.

From the ninth minute when McDonald slipped past three men and shot at Grenville Millington it was clear that Villa could win.

Next, Millington made a fine save from Chico Hamilton but McDonaldโ€™s bending header two minutes later left him without hope.

Villa nearly went further ahead in the 42nd minute when Graydon finished a flowing move with a viciously struck from 30 yards.

Millington could only parry the ball and it looped over his body to drop just wide of the post.

Graydon was more fortunate with his next shot which brought his goal following a fine pass from Brian Little and Villa settled, looking more easy in defence.

At the other end Edwards cleared off the line when Keith Leonard forced his way passed Trevor Storton and Millington in the 59th minute.

Two minutes later Chesterโ€™s manager, Ken Roberts, made his substitution, bringing on Moore for the limping James and ten minutes after that Moore scored.

He met Draperโ€™s cross as the near post after Ross had slipped and although Cumbes did well to half save the shot another goal rolled into the net.ยง
