Villa's terrible season under Jimmy McMullan continues as they lose for the eighth time in twelve and concede seven for the third time in their League campaign and have now conceded four or more goals six times in nineteen games to make it four wins, four draws and eleven defeats whilst conceding fifty nine.

Villa lose for the eighth time in twelve under Jimmy McMullan as Jack Palethorpe hits a consolation in a third seven goal thrashing in sixteen games.

But the scoreline, at least in the first half, was highly misleading as "they had more of the game and the Arsenal goalmouth was frequently the scene of anxious situations."
