Comments:

Comments:

League position: 20th This result confirmed Aston Villa’s relegation to League Championship. They were relegated from the top division for the first time since 1986-87 and became the first ever-present Premier League club to be relegated since Southampton in 2004-05. With four games remaining, their relegation confirmation was the earliest from the Premier League since Portsmouth were relegated with five games to play in 2009-10. Villa had now won none of their last 16 Premier League away games (lost 13).
