On This Day
Villa make it nine in a row for the first time since 1910-11.
Tammy Abraham scores his 25th goal of the campaign on his 37th appearance to make it W17 D12 L8, 25 Goals, 4 Assists and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Jack Grealish scores his 15th goal for Villa on his 140th appearance (95 Starts) to make it W55 D29 L56, 15 Goals, 19 Assists, 21 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.
Neil Taylor makes his 75th appearance for Villa (70 Starts) to make it W39 D17 L19, 3 Assists, 9 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Villa had now won 9 consecutive league games for the first time since 1910-11.
What they Said
*Villa boss Dean Smith:*
โNo living person will have seen the last run [Villaโs joint club record nine straight wins, from October to December 1910] so I am proud of the players.
โNow we have to go all out and try and break the record against Millwall on Monday. We are very motivated to keep the run going. You could see that from the players.
โWe have three regular league games to go so hopefully we can have a winning end to the season.โ
*Bolton have been relegated from the Championship following a home defeat by Aston Villa.*
Second-half goals by Jack Grealish and Tammy Abraham gave Villa a club record-equalling ninth straight win and sent Bolton into League One.
Villa had the early chances with Anwar El Ghazi firing wide from a Grealish cross before John McGinn had an effort cleared off the line by Harry Brockbank.
Bolton then lost both captain David Wheater and veteran midfielder Gary OโNeil to injury before half-time.
Villa claimed the lead just two minutes into the second half when Abraham crossed to the far post for Grealish to head home.
Ten minutes later Grealish returned the favour, collecting a pass by McGinn and setting up Abraham to head home and become the first Villa player to score 25 league goals in a season since Andy Gray in 1976-77.
Ahead of Mondayโs home game with Millwall, victory also equalled Villaโs club record of nine successive wins, set in 1910.
It leaves them in fifth, four points behind West Bromwich Albion and six points clear of seventh place in the race for play-off spots.
To compound Boltonโs misery, they set a new club record of 27 league defeats in a season.
*Aston Villa head coach Dean Smith:*
โNo living person will have seen the last run [Villaโs joint club record nine straight wins, from October to December 1910] so I am proud of the players.
โNow we have to go all out and try and break the record against Millwall on Monday. We are very motivated to keep the run going. You could see that from the players.
โWe have three regular league games to go so hopefully we can have a winning end to the season.โ
