ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 12 September 2017
Villa are held at home and fail to score for the second successive game under Steve Bruce as even a man advantage cannot inspire the team.
Rumours abound that the axe is hanging over the Villa boss less than 12 months into the job.
Villa had now failed to win at home for the third time in 4 games this season as Steve Bruce’s league record for 2017-18 now stood at P7 W1 D4 L2.
With Villa stranded in 18th after 7 games talk of a play off place seems fanciful whilst thoughts of automatic promotion appear to be a sick joke.
Henri Lansbury is sent off on his 22nd appearance for Villa (20 Starts) to make it W8 D5 L9, 2 Assists, 3 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Robert Snodgrass picks up his first booking on a Villa shirt on his 2nd appearance (1 Start) to make it W0 D2 L0 and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
Sam Johnstone keeps his 10th clean sheet in a Villa shirt on his 29th appearance to make it W9 D7 L13, 1 Assist, 35 Goals Conceded and 10 Clean Sheets so far in his Villa career.
Former Villa winger Adama Traoré showed what they weren't missing by getting himself sent off 4’ after the start.
