ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 8 November 1930
Villa lose to Arsenal after five consecutive wins against the Londoners but despite the apparently overwhelming score the game is far closer with Villa having the chances but Arsenal the clinicism.
Pongo Waring scores a brace in defeat for his 20th goal in fourteen.
Villa make it eight wins, three draws and three defeats in their fourteen division one games
Villa have now scored 38 goals in 1930-31 two less than their victors Arsenal.
Villa drop to third in the table - their lowest place of the season - as their poor form over the last four away matches continues to bite.
