However, Aston Villa responded strongly in the return leg at Villa Park and equalised through Gary Shaw with 10 minutes remaining on the clock. The match remained deadlocked until the final whistle but in extra time Gordon Cowans and Ken McNaught scored the winning goals for Aston Villa, securing a thrilling 3-1 victory.
