They get luck of the draw

VILLA HANG ON TO THE DREAM

WEST HAM 1 ASTON VILLA 1

IF ASTON VILLA do lose their grip on fourth spot, a week has just passed which they may look back on with regret.

The 4-0 home hammering by nearest rivals Tottenham Sunday was missed last opportunity number one.

Then they fluffed their lines again at West Ham yesterday.

Had they overcome Spurs a week earlier, Unai Emery's men would have moved eight points clear of Spurs in fifth.

Nicolo Zaniolo, right, salvaged a draw for Villa with a late equaliser to cancel out Michail Antonio's header.

Villa were perhaps fortunate it was not worse after seeing West Ham have two goals ruled out for handball, the second deep into injury-time.
