Aston Villa have achieved a record that hasn’t been done in over 90 years as they have won their first eight home league matches.
It has been nothing short of a great start to the season for Aston Villa and it has only got better in the past week.
With wins over Manchester City and Arsenal, Unai Emery and his side have been heavily praised given their top performances.
The away form has been a questionable aspect of the Villans’ play this campaign due to heavy losses to Newcastle and Liverpool. This has been added to by a defeat by Nottingham Forest and draws with Wolves and Bournemouth.
It is at home where Villa have shown their ruthless side is at Villa Park. Their form currently sees them sitting in third place in the Premier League this deep into the season.
Their home form has been record-breaking as they have won a record 15 games in a row in B6. Something which has never been done by any other Villa side. They have now broken another long-standing record…
What record have Aston Villa broken?
Under the tutelage of Emery, the Villans have been transformed into a top side in the past 12 months. Given that he took over with the club near the bottom three, to have them in a title race is an amazing achievement.
It has been a record-breaking spell with the Spaniard in charge with many a record being broken week on week.
This week has seen yet another record be broken. This is as Villa won their eighth home match in the Premier League this season. With that, the current crop has become the first to win that many games to open a season since 1932.
There have been some very difficult fixtures in this run, it has been no mean feat. With Man City, Arsenal and Brighton along the way, Villa have been great it is safe to say.
The game against the Gunners was scrappy and showed yet another side of this excellent Villa side. Digging in to show grit and determination was the key to taking all three points. This saw yet another record be broken as the Villans cemented their third-place spot.
With many records being broken week after week and the Villans now in a title race, it has been a superb season. Emery is at the wheel at the wheel at Villa Park and doesn’t look like losing any time soon.
