ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 17 August 2024
Villa win on the opening day of a top flight season for the first time since 2020-21 and for the first time away from home since 2015-16.
Villa cap their 1.000th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Amadou Onana makes a goalscoring Villa debut aged 22 following his €59.35m / £50.02m signing from Everton to become the 998th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Amadou Onana is the third Belgian player to score on his Premier League debut for Villa, after Luc Nilis (1-1 draw versus Chelsea on 27 August 2000) and Christian Benteke (2-0 home win over Swansea on 15 September 2012).
Ian Maatsen makes his Villa debut aged 22 from the subs bench following his €44.50m / £37.71m move from Chelsea to become the 999th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Kosta Nedeljkovic makes his Villa debut aged 19 from the subs bench following his €7.60m / £6.44m move from Red Star Belgrade to become the 1,000th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Leon Bailey secures his 50th win in a Villa shirt on his 107th appearance (70 Starts) to make it W50 D16 L41, 20 Goals, 21 Assists and 16 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one every 1.89 starts so far in his Villa career.
Jhon Durán secures his 9th goal and 25th win in a Villa shirt on his 50th appearance (10 Starts) to make it W25 D10 L15, 9 Goals and 9 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one every 0.90 starts so far in his Villa career.
Jhon Durán had the best minutes to goal ratio, with a goal every 92 minutes (five goals in 462 minutes) of any Premier League player with at least five goals in 2023-24 and has now scored six Premier League goals from just 616 minutes played, an average of one every 103 minutes. Among players to have scored five or more Premier League goals, only Manchester City's Erling Haaland (85) has a better minutes-to-goals rate.
Pau Torres secures his 25th win in a Villa shirt on his 40th appearance (37 Starts) to make it W25 D7 L8, 2 Goals and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
Youri Tielemans makes his 30th start in a Villa shirt (47 Appearances) to make it W27 D9 L11, 3 Goals, 8 Assists and 6 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Villa now have the most debut appearance scorers in Premier League history alongside Chelsea with 27.
Matty Cash has conceded more penalties than any other player since his Premier League debut in September 2020 - six.
