Clear organisation. Focus. Commitment. Passion. Football. Another 3 points. 

Villa survive a dreadful refereeing performance from the first seconds onwards, totally losing control of a game that didn’t change in its format from kick off - Brighton foul, often cynically and often collectively with barely any focus on cohesive football. Quite why then his eight card flurry after 75’ happened is a mystery.

Ezri Konsa makes his 115th appearance and 110th start for Villa to make it W42 D22 L51, 6 Goals, 3 Assists, 16 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

Douglas Luiz contributes his 10th assist for Villa on his 127th appearance (110 Starts) to make it W44 D23 L60, 7 Goals, 10 Assists, 30 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.
