Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Burnley 2-2 Aston Villa. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Jaidon Anthony put the first mark on the match 8', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Aston Villa led Corners 2-8, even though the scoreboard went another way. Aston Villa also shaded Possession 34%-66%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Aston Villa the favourite at 66.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
