Over the course of the season, Arsenal inflicted a number of heavy defeats, including 6–1 versus Sunderland, 8–2 against Leicester City, 7–1 at Wolverhampton Wanderers, 9–2 against Sheffield United at Highbury, and 8–0 against Blackburn Rovers. The Gunners also beat title rivals Villa 5–0 at Highbury in April, though lost 5–3 away in November. Arsenal's top scorer was Cliff Bastin, who netted 33 goals-all off them in the league.^[1]
