ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 22 September 1973

  • Villa draw for the fourth successive game and fifth time in seven second division games as three goals in four first half minutes sees them pegged back after taking the lead through Bruce Rioch's blistering free kick after 67 seconds. Villa's disappointment is compounded by the petulant Alun Evans' behaviour as he leaves the field having been substituted in the second half by Vic Crowe.

  • Vic Crowe's Villa draw for the fourth successive game but remain unbeaten in the League this season with two wins and five draws. Meanwhile, a disgruntled Alun Evans is substituted on 63' and gesticulates at home fans as he leaves the field.
