Final league position 2015-16: 20th Aston Villa concluded their relegation season and ended their ever-present status in the Premier League with a new club lowest season points total of 17. Their previous record of 18 had stood since the 1890-91 season in a 22-game League Division One campaign. Villa were the only team not to score more than two goals in a Premier League game in 2015-16. Mark Bunn scored his own goal in the second minute of added time in the second half.
