On the final day of the 2019/20 season, Aston Villa travelled to West Ham United needing a result to maintain their top flight status.
They would eventually manage precisely that, thanks to 1-1 draw against the Hammers. However, while Jack Grealish’s goal six minutes from time officially cued in the celebrations, it was their victory – five days earlier over Arsenal at home – that had truly set the scene for that momentous escape.
That 1-0 triumph, secured by the right boot of Egypt international Mahmoud Trezeguet, served as something of a turning point, as Villa have begun 2020/21 in absolutely blistering form.
