ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 27 February 1980
Villa tear Manchester City to shreds at Villa Park but despite leading at the interval and having a hatful of chances, Allan Evans’ handball in the box gives the visitors a lifeline they take before a lax defence concedes another and Villa need a late own goal to secure a single point for their almost total dominance.
Ron Saunders' Villa make it eleven wins, ten draws and six defeats in twenty seven League matches this season.
