ON THIS DAY

Wednesday, 22 October 1958

  • Villa boss the second half against table topping Arsenal but still lose at home, remaining bottom of the table, having already played a game more than those around them. It's not looking good.

  • Eric Houghton's Villa lose for the eighth time in twelve to make it three wins, three draws and eight defeats in fourteen division one games so far this season.
