Villa, needing just one win to secure Premier League safety after their revival under Tim Sherwood, are humiliated at St Mary's in a shambling performance but luck is on Villa's side as results elsewhere go their way to leave them safe ahead of another top flight season.

Tim Sherwood's Villa lose their sixth Premier League game in twelve and drop to 15th place in the table as they are ripped apart in the first 45' at St Mary's. The result itself however did not matter as courtesy of Hull's defeat, Villa had secured Premier League safety once again. 

Christian Benteke contributes his 63rd goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 99th appearance (92 Starts) to make it W34 D18 L47, 49 Goals, 14 Assists, 13 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.

Gabriel Agbonlahor suffers his 125th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 351st appearance (317 Starts) to make it W125 D101 L125, 84 Goals, 42 Assists, 45 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

Right back Matt Lowton makes his final appearance for Villa aged 25 before moving on to Burnley for a fee of £1,260,000 in July 2015. Lowton had joined Villa from Sheffield United for £3,380,000 in July 2012 and he went on to make 82 appearances (73 Starts) to make it W24 D14 L41, 2 Goals, 2 Assists and 16 Bookings.
