Tamworth 1 Villa Res 1

VILLA came from behind to secure a deserved draw at The Lamb last night.

Kevin MacDonald's youthful side trailed to Tony Thorpe's goal on the stroke of half-time, but hit back through Chris Herd's spectacular diving header.

The hosts were ahead as Thorpe pounced on Clark's slip and slotted a low shot past David Bevan.

Villa levelled four minutes after the break when Earls played a one-two with Stieber before crossing from the by-line for Herd to power a diving header home.
