Arsenal 0-2 Aston Villa: Key stats

Aston Villa are unbeaten in their past 10 Premier League games in London (W7 D3), including on all six trips so far this season (W5 D1) – among non-London sides, only Manchester United (3 times) have ever had a longer unbeaten run away from home in the capital.

Arsenal suffered a Premier League defeat for the first time since New Year’s Eve against Fulham (1-2), whilst they have now failed to score in two of their past four league games, having only gone goalless in three of their first 28 games this season.

Aston Villa’s Leon Bailey has been directly involved in seven goals as a substitute in the Premier League this season (three goals, four assists), more than any other player.

There were 21 shots in the first half of this game (14 by Arsenal, 7 by Aston Villa) with only Man City v Brentford in February (22) seeing more first half attempts without a goal being produced in a Premier League match this season. Meanwhile, Aston Villa scored with their only two shots on target in the game.

Ollie Watkins has scored 19 goals in the Premier League this season, the joint-most ever in a campaign for Aston Villa along with Christian Benteke in 2012-13. Only Erling Haaland (20) has scored more goals this term than the Englishman.
