From a 5-game winless streak to scoring 24 points in nearly 9 rounds, Emery is aggressively chasing points as Villa rises to 3rd in the Premier League after a 7-goal thriller.

This week’s Premier League features a double round of matches. At 03:30 on December 4th Beijing time, Aston Villa faced Brighton away in the 14th round. The two teams treated fans to an exhilarating 7-goal spectacle. Ultimately, Aston Villa narrowly won 4-3 on the road, securing their sixth consecutive victory across all competitions and handing Brighton their first home defeat of the season.

Aston Villa’s incredible points chase this season in the Premier League: after the first 5 rounds, Villa had yet to win, with 3 draws and 2 losses, earning only 3 points and stuck in the relegation zone. From round 6 to round 14, over the course of nearly 9 matches, Villa has produced an outstanding record of 8 wins and 1 loss, including the recent 4-3 away victory over Brighton, amassing 24 points in total.
