Comments:

League position: 11th Aston Villa had now won 17 of their last 50 games in the Premier League (lost 22). Only Manchester United (eight) had now scored more goals in added time at the end of games so far in this Premier League season than Villa (five). In his 29th game in the division, Keinan Davis scored his first goal in the Premier League. This was Villa's first home score draw in the Premier League since the visit of Burnley on 28 September 2019; longer than any other team currently in the division.

Comments:

League position: 19th West Bromwich Albion had now won three and lost three of their last ten games in the Premier League. The Baggies had now drawn four and lost six of the ten games they had played in this Premier League season on a Sunday. Only Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette (seven) had now scored more goals in away games in the Premier League in 2021 than Matheus Pereira (six).
