Villa surrender a two goal lead built by Peter Withe's first league goals of the season as Stoke score two in two second half minutes to share the points.
Reigning Champions Villa are unbeaten in four League games but they now have just one win, three draws and two defeats in their title defence as they drop to 17th in the table.
