Allan Evans heads into his own net with just 55 seconds remaining to leave Villa with another cup replay - this time with third tier Blackburn who had looked incapable of drawing level even with just a one goal deficit.
Gordon Cowans makes his 125th start in a Villa shirt (140 Appearances) to make it W60 D40 L40, 18 Goals and 16 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 4.12 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
