Sunday, 25 September 1988

Franz Carr snatched an 80th minute equaliser for Nottingham Forest in a rousing finish against unbeaten Aston Villa. Forest, still without a win after five games, more than deserved their point after pounding away at newly-promoted Villa in the second-half. Villa had to settle for their fourth draw after taking the lead in the 22nd minute with a Kevin Gage shot which skidded underneath Steve Sutton.
