Aston Villa hosted Bournemouth for Gameweek 11 of the Premier League, and the game ended with a huge 4-0 win for the hosts against one of the in-form teams to start the season.

This win saw the Villans climb to sixth, with 18 points, equal to Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Bournemouth.
