Villa had now taken 900 points from their 580 home games in the Premier League (won 245, lost 170). . They had now kept a clean sheet in 11 of their last 50 games in the Premier League. . Emi Buendía's replacement in the tenth added minute of the second half was regarded as a concussion substitution, therefore allowing both teams the possibility to make six substitutions during the game.
