Opens scoring in defeat
Douglas Luiz scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one corner in Wednesday's 4-1 loss against Chelsea.
Analysis: Douglas Luiz scored a mouthwatering back-heel finish Wednesday to open the scoring, though Aston Villa would be thrashed thereafter in a 4-1 home defeat versus Chelsea. The moment marked the midfielder's first Premier League goal since the 2023/24 season with Aston Villa. Since rejoining the Villains on-loan from Juventus, Douglas Luiz has made seven successive appearances (seven starts), created 13 chances, scored once and assisted once.
Inefficient in service
Douglas Luiz had nine crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United.
Analysis: Only two of the defender's nine crosses were considered accurate, though part of that could be due to the sheer volume Aston Villa needed to try to get an equalizer. Luiz has a more favorable matchup coming up against a Wolves team with a -32 goal differential, so he should be able to move forward again and be involved in the attack.
