Comments:

League position: 19th Manager Tim Sherwood was sacked the following day when Sunderland's win against Newcastle United sent Aston Villa to the bottom of the table. The former Tottenham Hotspur boss had been in charge for only 28 competitive games - the shortest reign of any permanent Villa manager. Villa had not now won in the Premier League since the opening day of the 2015-16 season and had now lost eight of their ten games. Jordan Ayew's goal was Villa's first in the month of October in all competitions since 30 October 2012 a 3-2 win at Swindon Town in the Capital One Cup.

League position: 11th At the sixth attempt, this was Swansea City's first away win in any competition in 2015-16. This victory ended the Swans' run of having gone five Premier League games without a win for the first time since October 2014. Andre Ayew's winner was the 2,000th goal scored by Swansea City in all-time league away games (played 1,927). City had now failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last eight Premier League games.
