On This Day
Villa and Everton play out a vastly improved replay at Hillsborough for the League Cup but still they canโt find a winner despite John Deehan forcing a late own goal before Everton equalise in the final minute to force a chanceless extra time and a second replay.
Ron Saunders' Villa are held once again by Everton in the League Cup final replay at Hillsborough with a second replay needed to split the two.
