Villa recover from their first League defeat in four but are held at Villa Park to leave them with five wins in thirteen Championship matches under Dean Smith. 

Villa’s difficult patch continues as goalkeeper Lovre Kalinić concedes another two goals (8 in 3 games since his debut) leaving Villa two down to lowly Hull. 

A second half comeback stops the rot but Villa now have just one win in 6 games and sit in 13th place with a seemingly unlikely late run to the play offs the only potential passage to promotion. 

Winger Yannick Bolasie makes his 21st and final appearance for Villa (9 Starts) aged 29 before ending his loan spell from Everton early, Bolasie left with a record of W7 D9 L5, 2 Goals, 4 Assists and 4 Bookings.

Former Villa defender Eric Lichaj lines up for Hull.
