ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 27 December 1980
Villa are denied a second half penalty and see a legitimate goal disallowed by referee Partridge before they concede a fortuitous 86' goal for the third time in four away games to allow Forest to take a point.
Ron Saunders' Villa draw at Forest to make it fourteen wins, six draws and five defeats in twenty five League matches this season. As a result Villa remain joint first in the Division One table, level with Liverpool.
