On This Day
Tony Barton's Villa can only draw with struggling Everton to make it eight wins, four draws and five defeats in seventeen League games this season.
Paul Rideout scores for the second successive game to give Villa a deserved lead over Everton but a dodgy penalty decision - missed - threatens to give the home side a deserved point before former Villan scores a cruel last minute equaliser. Such is the tight nature of the table that Villa fall to tenth.
