Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish sets unwanted Premier League record with 20th successive defeat
The Aston Villa captain’s wretched run began when he made his senior debut as a substitute in a 4-0 thrashing to Manchester City in May 2014.
He then appeared more regularly during the following season as the Villains were relegated from the top-flight.
Grealish established himself as a regular starter in the Championship and led his boyhood club back to the Premier League last season.
But it has been a tough start to the 2019/20 campaign for Grealish and co with Dean Smith’s side suffering back-to-back losses to Tottenham and Bournemouth.
The 2-1 home defeat to the Cherries made it loss number 20 in a row for the midfielder.
Villa were the architects of their own downfall as Tom Heaton gave away a needless penalty in the opening minute of the game before a Douglas Luiz mistake saw Harry Wilson score from range.
Grealish insists Villa will be ‘fine’ when they stop making mistakes.
He said: “It’s disappointing and – we’ve all said it (in the dressing room), the manager said it to us – we have to cut out the mistakes.
