How Crystal Palace have summed up Unai Emery's lack of luck at Aston Villa
Aston Villa will have watched Crystal Palace this weekend and questioned what has gone wrong for themselves.
The Villans have only secured one Premier League win this season in a string of frustrating results.
The most recent summed things up as the B6 outfit could only manage a point against Brentford.
Despite John McGinn putting the hosts infront on the day, the lead only lasted two minutes.
That continued a winless run at Villa Park at the start of the campaign.
Previously, Unai Emery had tasted defeat against Nottingham Forest in a result that now seems terrible.
Why the Nottingham Forest defeat has been made worse by Crystal Palace
Prior to the international break, Oliver Glasner secured yet another win over the claret and blue outfit.
His side came to Villa Park and secured a 2-1 win as Igor Jesus scored an 88th-minute winner.
Liam Delap had opened the scoring just seconds into the second half.
Villa must now look at that and question how unlucky they were to allow that to happen.
That comes after Forest fell to a 3-1 defeat away to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Reds created eight big chances on the day as they took 24 shots at Selhurst Park.
Out of that, just 18 shots went wide and seven big chances were missed.
That included Delap missing a chance worth 0.68 expected goals as he blasted an effort straight at Palace keeper Walter Benitez from less than six yards out.
It just sums everything up that he was able to score from well outside the box with a strike worth just 0.03 expected goals at Villa Park.
Emery has to be asking questions about his side, especially in the draw against Brentford.
Did Aston Villa deserve more vs Brentford?
It is one thing looking at where struggling players have somehow done well at Villa Park, but maybe the Villans need to look within.
The most recent performance against the Bees proves that they have issues that need solving.
To have conceded two despite only facing three big chances from Brentford obviously isn't good enough.
That is only made worse knowing that the home side took 20 shots throughout the 90.
Issues were summed up when McGinn missed a chance worth 0.68 expected goals just before the half time whistle.
Villa are facing trying times right now and need things to start falling in their favour.
