Comments:

League position: 16th Aston Villa had won all five previous Premier League meetings with Queens Park Rangers at Villa Park. Christian Benteke became the first player to score two hat-tricks for Aston Villa in the Premier League. He also netted a threesome against Sunderland at Villa Park on 29 April 2013. Christian is also the first Belgian to score two Premier League hat-tricks. The Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - Aston Villa’s first goal against Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday 7th April 2015 has been confirmed as a Christian Benteke goal. (Circular 25)

League position: 18th This was Queens Park Rangers first draw in their 16th away game in the Premier League in 2014-15 (won two and lost 13). Clint Hill scored in this game at the age of 36 years and 170 days. He became QPR's second-oldest goalscorer in the Premier League after Ray Wilkins who netted against Liverpool on 18 August 1993 at the age of 36 years and 338 days.
