Key figures

No Aston Villa manager (with more than 30 matches on the bench) before Martin O'Neill has done less than 27% of losses in Premier League.

Only back at the time of Joe Mercer head of Aston Villa (01/12/1958-31/07/1964), you can see a manager go over Martin O'Neill with 1.52 goals scored per game in Premier League (1.55).

It's the first time Joe Cole scores a goal vs Aston Villa in his professional career since the 17/12/2003 (with Chelsea vs Aston Villa )
