Only Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy (14) had now scored more goals so far in this Premier League season than Tammy Abraham (11). The Blues had now lost one of their last 56 home games in the Premier League against newly-promoted teams (won 45).

They had now taken one point from their last 14 away games in the Premier League against a team starting the day in the top four. Trézéguet became the first player to score in three consecutive starts in the Premier League for Villa since Tom Cleverley in May 2015.
