Villa fail to take advantage of 10-man Leeds as a costly two points are thrown away for the desperate relegation battle to come.

Ludwig Augustinsson makes a debut for the ages. Not quite Danny Drinkwater but a 6’ booking, a performance of trepidation and injury all before half time really sums up Gerrard’s management of Villa. Against all the odds Augustinsson becomes the 983rd player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.

Another surprising addition to the squad, Jan Bednarek, makes his Villa debut after joining on loan from Southampton to become the 984th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.

Ashley Young makes his 200th start for Villa on his 220th appearance since first joining the club in 2007 to make it W95 D63 L62, 38 Goals, 64 Assists, 40 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.
