Comments:

League position: 19th Aston Villa had now taken two points from their last 22 games against the big six teams in the Premier League since April 2015. Kortney Hause scored his first goal in the Premier League and his second for Villa; also in a 3-1 win at Nottingham Forest in the League Championship on 13 March 2019. He had now scored in each of the top four divisions. They failed in their attempt to keep consecutive clean sheets in games in the Premier League for the first time since January 2015. Villa had now lost five games so far in this Premier League season after scoring the opening goal; two more than any other team.

Comments:

This was Frank Lampard's 100th game as a manager (won 46).
