On This Day
Despite more champagne football from Villa, Spurs score an offside goal against the run of play, and Ron Saunders' men chasing the game suffer a shock defeat in North London.
Villa remain one point off the top of the first division table as leaders Ipswich also lose.
Meanwhile Gary Shaw pulls a hamstring and Dennis Mortimer his groin to leave Villaโs tiny 14 man squad threadbare for the title run in.
Ron Saunders' Villa lose for the first time in eleven games and make it twenty one wins, seven draws and six defeats in thirty four League matches this season. As a result, Villa remain a point behind leaders Ipswich in second in the Division One table.

What they Said
"We had five men [in the team] that we got nothing from at all.
"Ipswich losing cushions it a little bit, but doesn't alter the fact that we didn't play."
