Saturday, 13 December 1958
Managerless Villa make it two unbeaten. As a result Villa have six wins, four draws and twelve defeats in twenty two division one games so far this season.
Villa, still without a manager following Eric Houghton's sacking the previous month, secure a precious win at Highbury following a Ron Wylie inspired performance. Villa however remain bottom of the table, level on points with Leicester and Tottenham.
