The story in brief
- Villa dominated Hull but drew 0-0, controlling nearly 74% of possession and winning the xG battle 1.74 to 0.58
- Yet they managed just one shot on target from 13 attempts, and still haven't scored a league goal all season
- Villa are now the first team in Premier League history to fail to score in the opening three games of back-to-back campaigns
Villa dominated everything at Hull except the only thing that matters: the scoreboard.
Total control, familiar frustration
