On This Day
Villa's away form collapses as having conceded after just 40 seconds they are well beaten at Highbury.
Joe Mercer's Villa follow their second win of the season with a heavy defeat at Highbury to make it two wins, a draw and three defeats in the first six League games of the season.
Meanwhile, forward Bobby Thomson made his final appearance for Villa before moving on to Birmingham City later this month. Thomson played for Villa between 1959-60 and 1963-64 making 172 appearances and scoring 70 goals.
