ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 22 January 1949
Villa return to League action for the first time in three weeks and the break seems to have done them the world of good as Billy Goffin scores an early goal capitalising on a goalkeeping error to beat Arsenal at Villa Park.
Villa now have 8 league wins this season and two in their last nine.
Villa keep their second League clean sheet of the season and first since November.
Villa's win however still leaves Alex Massie's side joint bottom of the table alongside Huddersfield and Preston, four points behind Everton.
Forward Billy Evans made his seventh and final appearance for Villa aged 27 before moving on to Notts County in June 1949.
