ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 23 August 1980
Manchester's smallest club luck in to a generous refereeing decision as they are gifted a spot kick at two goals behind in the 83' minute before equalising in the final minutes. Villa remain 4th in the table and their lucky opponents rock bottom.
Villa make it three games unbeaten and two wins at the start of the 1980-81 season as Peter Withe scores his first goals for the club.
Gordon Cowans contributes his 20th assist in a Villa shirt on his 162nd appearance (142 Starts) to make it W69 D46 L47, 21 Goals and 20 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.95 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
