Centre back Allan Evans 🏴 heads into his own net with just 55 seconds remaining to leave Villa with another cup replay - this time with third tier Blackburn who until Evans' misfortune had looked incapable of drawing level even with just a one goal deficit.
Gordon Cowans 🏴 makes his 🕒 125th start in a Villa shirt (140 Appearances) to make it 🟩 W60 🟨 D40 🟥 L40, ⚽ 18 Goals and 🔥 16 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 4.12 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Midfielder Des Bremner 🏴 makes his 🕒 25th appearance in a Villa shirt.
