ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 30 March 2024
Mauricio Pochettino claims that Chelsea deserve to be fourth despite actually sitting 11th, 16 points behind Villa.
Gary O’Neil claims "More possession, more shots (Villa 13, Wolves 11), higher expected goals (Result: Villa 2, Wolves 0). We were the better team by a mile … but then somehow we end up being 1-0 down. You can tell Aston Villa fans were slightly surprised and going 1-0 then relaxes the place.”
Back in the real world, without Mings, Buendia, Kamara, McGinn, Cash and Ramsey, and losing Ollie Watkins at half time, Villa don’t get out of second gear, beat Wolves, consolidate 4th spot and move on to 59 points after 30 games.
Coincidentally, Wolves’ best ever Premier League finish was 59 points after 38 games in 2018-19.
Villa move on to 59 points after 30 games, just two points off their total of 2022-23 that took them to a seventh placed finish after 38 matches.
