ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 5 March 1986
Villa concede early and need a fine Paul Birch performance topped by a left-footed volley of an equaliser to bring Villa back into the game they are ultimately lucky to draw to keep the semi final tie alive.
Graham Turner’s Villa line up for their seventh Cup match in the last ten fixtures and can only draw in the home leg of the League Cup semi final against an Oxford United side having a worse League season than Villa.
