FA Cup match report: Wycombe Wanderers 1-1 Aston Villa
Joe Jacobson's nerveless penalty stretched Aston Villa's winless run under Remi Garde to 10 matches as Wycombe battled to a 1-1 FA Cup third round draw.
Captain Micah Richards side-footed Villa into the lead at Adams Park, only for full-back Jacobson's spot-kick to earn League Two's Wycombe a lucrative replay against their Premier League foes.
Jacobson's penalty evoked memories of his spot-kick exploits when Bristol Rovers dumped out Roy Hodgson's Fulham in their run to the FA Cup quarter-finals in 2008.
Villa wasted the perfect opportunity to kick-start Garde's miserable managerial stint, the Birmingham club still rooted to the Premier League's foot.
Charles Gil made Wycombe pay for some early profligacy , cutting in off the right and feeding Richards, lurking on the cusp of the box.
The former Manchester City defender produced a first-time finish to sit at odds with the hosts' sluggish final-third play.
Just when Villa expected to flex their top-flight muscle, the panicked defending which leaves them rooted to the Premier League's foot suddenly materialised.
Westwood's needless and clumsy challenge on Bloomfield gifted Wycombe a penalty - which Jacobson converted with ease.
The former Cardiff left-back sent Mark Bunn the wrong way to side-foot home and level the tie. Wood then saw a challenging volley cleared off the line by Richards as Wycombe exerted yet more pressure.
Rudy Gestede, anonymous for the first hour, saw a shot deflected onto the corner of post and crossbar, compounding Villa's frustrations as Wycombe held firm.
