In the realm of English football, where giants like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City reign supreme, there is a new force quietly making its presence felt. Aston Villa, led by their visionary manager Unai Emery, has been on an astonishing run that has captured the attention of fans across the country.
It has been just over a year since Emery took charge at Villa Park, and in this short span of time, his impact has been nothing short of remarkable. The Villians have amassed an impressive 68 points in the Premier League under Emery's guidance – a feat only surpassed by Liverpool (71), Arsenal (74), and reigning champions Manchester City (81).
Emery's tenure at Aston Villa has not only revived the club but also propelled them to new heights. Currently boasting an exceptional 58% win rate –the highest in the history of this historic institution – Emery's impact cannot be overstated.
Surpassing legendary figure George Ramsey's record win rate of 49%, Emery has already etched his name into Aston Villa folklore without connotations towards past glory alone. Under Ramsey's stewardship during the turn from the 19th to the 20th century, Villa secured an incredible six league titles along with six FA Cups - achievements that cemented their status as one of England's premier clubs during that era.
Emery's impact has been most apparent on the hallowed turf of Villa Park. The Villians have now secured an incredible 11 consecutive Premier League home victories under his tutelage, a statistic that sends shivers down the spines of their rivals. This unbeaten run includes commendable victories against top clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur –teams that would typically pose significant challenges for any team.
