ON THIS DAY
Sunday, 14 April 2024
Villa face Arsenal for their first of six fixtures that could turn an unbelievable season into an unbelievable season with the foundation for an even better one next time out.
Emi Martínez has to again prove he is the World’s best goalkeeper to prevent Arsenal from scoring. Thereafter however it was all Unai Emery and Villa. The ground was full on empty mode before Villa hit their second and Arsenal and the lazy London media were beaten. Not for the first time this season. And probably not the last.
Ezri Konsa makes his 180th appearance for the club (175th Start) to record W79 D35 L66, 7 Goals, 3 Assists, 28 Booking and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Ollie Watkins makes his 150th start in a Villa shirt (161 Appearances) and scores his 19th Premier League goal of the season, equalling Christian Benteke’s haul from 2012-13 and the best since the new league’s inauguration in 1992-93. Watkins' record is now W76 D26 L59, 69 Goals, 22 Assists, 19 Bookings and 1 Red Card at a goal involvement rate of one every 1.77 games played so far in his Villa career.
Lucas Digne contributes his 10th assist on his 85th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W40 D16 L29, 4 Goals, 10 Assists and 15 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Álex Moreno collects his 25th win on his 47th appearance for the club (31 Starts) to record W25 D11 L11, 3 Goals, 3 Assists and 5 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Youri Tielemans collects his 25th win on his 42nd appearance (25th Start) to record W25 D7 L10, 2 Goals, 7 Assists and 6 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

The last two Villa matches in which David Coote has officiated have both resulted in shockingly poor performances as the official lost control of the matches early, allowed them to descend into little more than brawls and made bewilderingly inconsistent and plain wrong decisions throughout.
And so it continues, by no means as bad as Goodison and Brentford but just moments into the game it was clear that Coote was easily influenced by the baying home fans.
He just seems incapable of controlling his urges in the middle, thankfully, and maybe probably because all involved shared the concerns with his officiating, the players reigned in more than normal.
It shouldn't be like this though, Coote clearly has issues that surely PGMOL can see. All they need to look at is the Villa games he's officiated in this season.
