Villa go into a two goal lead only to then collapse and record their third defeat in five Premier League games.

This is the fourth time Villa had let a two goal lead slip to fall to defeat in the Premier League. 

Villa have now conceded 14 goals in their last 5 away games and lost 12 in 22 games under Tim Sherwood.

Centre back Joleon Lescott makes a losing debut in a Villa shirt aged 33 after his controversial signing from West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £1,260,000 earlier this month. Lescott becomes the 884th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football but his signing and time with Villa prove to be an unmitigated disaster on and off the field as his recruitment is seen as one of the biggest errors in the club's history despite hefty competition coming from a decade packed with underwhelming signings.

Jack Grealish scores his first goal in a Villa shirt on his 28th appearance (14 Starts) to make it W13 D4 L11, 1 Goals, 5 Assists, 2 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

Carles Gil scores his 2nd goal for the club on his 10th appearance in a Villa shirt (7 Starts) to make it W3 D1 L6, 2 Goals, 1 Assist and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
