Villa, struck by injury to key players, empty the youth and reserve teams, to line up and vanquish expensive Arsenal. Villa climb back to the top of the table, level on points with Wolves.
Joe Mercer's Villa win for the first time in three to make it four wins, a draw and a defeat in six division one games so far in 1962-63.
