It's a new season but the same old story for Aston Villa.
Unai Emery's side suffered a repeat of a familiar trend after kicking off off their Premier League campaign in Saturday's early kick-off with Newcastle United.
A cagey encounter sprung into life midway through the second half when the hosts were reduced to ten men for Ezri Konsa's last-man foul on Anthony Gordon.
It marked the third red card in the Villans' last four top-flight outings, following the dismissals of Emi Martínez and Jacob Ramsey at the tail end of last term.

Worse still for Emery's men, they have followed up the third-highest number of dismissals in the league in the previous season with four red cards overall.
