On This Day
Villa are held at the Hawthorns in the 107th Villa-Albion game. It's a game they should have won as Dennis Mortimer runs the game and debutant Gary Shaw runs the home team ragged. Villa are pegged back by a questionable first half penalty only to then have a late penalty for a foul on Shaw refused.
Ron Saunders' Villa make it six wins, six draws and five defeats in seventeen division one games this season.
