ON THIS DAY
Monday, 3 March 1980
Villa’s goalscoring defender - Allan Evans 🏴 - scores his ninth of the season before being 🟥 sent off early in the second half for deliberate handball.
Not for the first time this season Evans 🏴 uses his hands to save Villa from conceding but Ron Saunders’ 🏴 side prove hugely fortunate after an even more curious refereeing performance robs Brighton of the winner.
Villa make it 🟩 twelve wins, 🟨 eleven draws and 🟥 six defeats in 🕒 twenty nine League matches this season as they 🟨 draw at the Goldstone.
Midfielder Dennis Mortimer 🏴 makes his 🕒 200th appearance in a Villa shirt.
