ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 12 January 1974
Villa earn a draw with leaders Middlesbrough after a last minute equaliser from Bruce Rioch lifts them to joint eleventh in the table, fifteen points behind their opponents and seven off the final promotion place.
Villa though are winless in ten and look anything but a cohesive team as heads drop following Boro’s opener until Rioch’ last gasp strike.
Vic Crowe's Villa, without a win in ten second division games scoring just four goals make it seven wins, ten draws and eight defeats in twenty five League games this season, but they manage to hold leaders Middlesbrough (Played 25, Points 39) to a draw (Played 25, Points 24).
