Jimmy Crabtree equalises the scoring as reigning Champions Villa secure a second consecutive, and much more convincing, victory over lowly Blackburn - the team that had surprisingly beaten the Champions earlier in the campaign. As a result Villa go level on points at the top of the table having played a game more than fellow leaders Sheffield United.

On This Day

Owing to their lack of participation in the FA Cup, reigning champions Villa play this game one month after their last match against Preston. The break however had seemed to so them good as they swept aside a Derby side who had beaten them twice prior to the hiatus. In doing so Villa had won two consecutive games having failed to win in the previous 7 games but dropped to 5th in the table, eight points off first place but with two games in hand.
