Winger Aleksandar Tonev makes his 20th and final appearance for Villa (8 Starts) aged 24. Tonev had only joined Villa from Lech Poznan in July 2013 for a fee of £2,880,000 and would move on to Frosinone Calcio on a free transfer in August 2015. Tonev, like so many players bought under Lambert, was completely out of his depth in the Premier League and left with a record of W3 D4 L13, 0 Goals, 0 Assists.
