Substitute Theo Walcott scored an 87th-minute equaliser for Everton to nudge Aston Villa closer to relegation.
Ezri Konsa's first Premier League goal looked to have earned struggling Villa a crucial win at Goodison Park, the former Brentford defender pouncing from close range after getting on the end of Conor Hourihane's free-kick.
But Villa were denied a first away win since 1 January when Walcott headed the home side level despite Konsa's attempted goal-line clearance.
Villa, who were seven points from safety before Sunday's win over Crystal Palace, remain 19th in the table, three points behind 17th spot, with just two games of the league season left.
They face Arsenal at home next Tuesday before finishing the season at fellow strugglers West Ham on 26 July.
Reaction from Goodison Park & latest from Thursday's Premier League gamesTime running out for Villa
The aim for Dean Smith and his Villa players is to get to the final day of the season still in with a chance of staying up.
But despite taking four points from the last two games, time is running out for the West Midlands club.
With West Ham hosting Watford on Friday, Villa will be five points from safety if the game between 16th and 17th ends in a draw at London Stadium.
Having seen his side take the lead in the 72nd minute with the game's first attempt on target, Smith cut a dejected figure at the final whistle as his team failed to defend their advantage.
Villa limited their opponents to a handful of chances before a drab affair burst into life when Konsa struck after a lovely set-piece from Hourihane.
However, Villa are the only side without an away clean sheet in the Premier League this season and they once again conceded as three points became one.
