Aston Villa have failed to win each of their last three Premier League home games when scoring the first goal, having won their previous 17 such games in a row beforehand. The Villains dropped their first points from a winning position at home this season.
Evanilson scored Bournemouth’s second latest (95:43) Premier League goal after Junior Stanislas 98th minute equalizer against Everton in November 2015, while it is their latest ever away from home.
Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League games (W4 D3 ), only between February and April 2023 have they been on a longer such run in the competition under Unai Emery (10 games).
Having lost their first two Premier League home games against Bournemouth in 2016 and 2019, Aston Villa have won the last two by an aggregate score of 6-1.
Bournemouth have won 50% of their eight Premier League games against Aston Villa (W4 D1 L3) – of those they’ve faced as many times, against no side do they have a higher win rate in the competition.
Aston Villa have picked up 17 points in eight Premier League games this season (W5 D2 L1), just the third time they’ve had that many points at this stage, also doing so in 1995-96 (17, finished 4th) and 1998-99 (20, finished 6th).
Bournemouth have lost six of their last nine away Premier League matches (W2 D1), losing their last two without scoring since their late 3-2 comeback victory against Everton at the end of August.
Only Manchester City (13) have won more points from losing positions in the Premier League this season than Aston Villa (10), who have won three games despite conceding first so far this campaign.
