ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 18 February 1984
A second successive goalkeeping error in an otherwise improved performance sees Villa leave Highbury with a point they deserved at a minimum but Tony Barton's men sit 10th in the table after their recent wobble.
Tony Barton's Villa can only draw with struggling Arsenal and make it ten wins, eight draws and nine defeats in twenty seven League games this season.
Meanwhile, inspirational Villa captain Dennis Mortimer makes it 300 league appearances for Villa.
