Villa have a headless Steve Hunt 🏴 🟨 booked twice and 🟥 sent off within ten minutes necessitating a backs to the wall performance against a second placed Barnsley and could have even snatched all three points with ten on the pitch.
Graham Taylor's 🏴 Villa now have 🟩 one win in their first seven second tier games as an automatic return to the first division looks a long way off.

"Aston Villa need this kind of thing at the moment like a hole in the head.
"Steve showed dissent to the referee and you can't expect to get away with that.
”I thought we should have had a penalty but Steve's action was irresponsible and reduced us to 10 men."
Graham Taylor.
