ON THIS DAY

Sunday, 1 March 2020

  • Villa go into the EFL Cup final as underdogs but take the game to City only to be undone by more generous officiating.

  • A team with the talent and resources of Manchester City hardly need the help yet it keeps on coming. 

  • To Villa's credit they made the game significantly more competitive than it was intended to be but a sixth League Cup triumph wasn't to be.

  • Villa appear in their 9th League Cup Final. 

  • Villa finish runners up in the League Cup for the fourth time.

  • Jack Grealish makes his 175th appearance in a Villa shirt (128 Starts) to make it W68 D35 L72, 24 Goals, 28 Assists, 28 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.

  • Anwar El Ghazi contributes his 25th goal involvement on his 66th appearance (57 Starts) to make it W25 D16 L25, 12 Goals, 13 Assists, 9 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

  • Marvelous Nakamba makes his 25th appearance for the club (22nd Start) to make it W7 D4 L14, 0 Goals, 0 Assists and 6 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

  • Off the pitch Villa record a ยฃ69m loss in their accounts for 2018-19 following the acquisition of the club by NWSE despite the sale of Villa park to a related business for ยฃ56.7m.
