Three defeats in three as Villa lose consecutive games in the capital and hand Arsenal their first win of the season. The result leaves Villa rock bottom in the table.
Dick Taylor's Villa make it three defeats from three under his leadership as they rack up six consecutive losses including the end of the 1963-64 season. Villa now have just four wins in the last twenty nine matches after a torrid final twelve months under Mercer and a difficult start to life under Taylor.
