Key figures

It's the first time Paul Hinshelwood scores a goal in Premier League since the 09/10/1979 (with Crystal Palace vs Southampton )

Aston Villa keeps its 4 consecutive matches without a draw vs Crystal Palace running (since 16/10/1978). It's a record streak. The first of history

Only back at the time of George Ramsay head of Aston Villa (01/07/1884-01/07/1926), you can see a manager go over Ron Saunders with 42% of wins in Premier League (48%).
