Comments:

League position: 12th This was Aston Villa's first defeat in their last six home games in the Premier League (won three). This was the second time that Villa relinquished a two-goal lead and lost a home game in the Premier League; also against Manchester United in November 2012 (2-3). Only two of their 12 goals so far in this Premier League season had now been scored in the first half.

Comments:

League position: 8th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now equalled their club record of three consecutive away wins in the Premier League. Wolves failed in their attempt to keep a clean sheet in three consecutive away games in the top division for the first time since 1960. They had now won four of their last five games in the Premier League (lost one).
