On This Day
In a typical show of Villa's misfortune this season they are drawn against league leaders Arsenal in the FA Cup third round.
Billy Walker scores in successive games as Villa go two up in 15' at Highbury but the hosts luck in with an equaliser with just 2' to go.
Villa are held at Highbury in the third round of the FA Cup ahead of a Villa Park replay.
