On This Day
Villa are beaten 1-0 after an ultra defensive Arsenal performance and a controversial offside decision against Dick Taylor's men.
Dick Taylor's wildly inconsistent Villa lose for the second time in three to make it eight wins, three draws and thirteen defeats in twenty four League games so far this season.
