ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 15 September 1973
Villa, once again adopting a safety first, defensive game on the road, are dominated by promotion rivals Middlesbrough but manage to record a second successive goalless draw. Villa’s latest stalemate - their third in five unbeaten second division games - leaves them still joint first in the table alongside a gaggle of four clubs - Bolton, Sunderland, Bristol City and opponents Boro.
Vic Crowe's Villa fail to score for the second successive match but remain unbeaten in the League this season with two wins and three draws.
