Aston Villa and Hull City Face Off in the First Goalless Draw of the League Season Start

Aston Villa, which was trying to score its first goal in the match where two teams that had neither conceded nor scored a goal in the first two weeks of the league, were dangerous with Nicolas Jackson and George Hemmings in the first 15 minutes. While Jackson's header narrowly went out, goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis deflected Hemmings' close-range shot with his round leather legs.

In this section, Oli McBurnie could not catch the ball that Ryan Giles centered hard into the penalty area during the Hull City attack that developed from the left.

Hull City, which had almost no openings with its 5-man defense during the half-hour blockade of its opponent, probed the Aston Villa goal from distance with Muhammed Belloumi in the 37th minute and Regan Slater in the 38th minute. In both shots, goalkeeper Zion Suzuki controlled the ball by lying down.

In the last minute of the first half, both teams excited the stands with their sudden attacks, but after the crosses passed through the penalty area, the half ended in a goalless draw. Aston Villa, who had 70 percent possession of the ball for 45 minutes, went to the locker room with only one accurate shot, while the home team produced 3 accurate shots.

Aston Villa started the second half with clear goal chances. John McGinn, who faced the goalkeeper with Nicolas Jackson's pass, shot the ball over the top and went out. In the 53rd minute, Hemmings entered the penalty area from the left, and Emiliano Buendia, who was in an empty position, sent the ball over the top.

In the 65th minute, Belloumi passed the corner and shot hard with his left foot from the right side, and the ball hit the crossbar.

Although Aston Villa Coach Unai Emery made his final moves to score a goal by bringing Matteo Ruggeri, Alejandro Garnacho and Alysson into the game in the 75th minute, Hull City came closer to changing the scoreboard in the remaining period.

In the 89th minute, McBurnie put the ball in front of Cho, centered from the left side. Goalkeeper Suzuki did not allow this player to score a weak shot.

In the 90th minute, Giles centered the ball from the left side and McBurnie in the penalty area sent it out.

The match ended 0-0.

HULL CITY CONTINUED THE STRIKE OF KEEPING A GOAL

Hull City, one of the two teams that did not concede a goal in the Premier League along with Arsenal, kept a clean sheet in the third week.

Hull City defeated Manchester United 2-0 in the first week and Coventry City 1-0 in the second week.

THE SAME START FROM ASTON VILLA TO THE LAST TWO SEASONS

Aston Villa, which started last season without scoring a goal in the first 3 weeks, went goalless in 3 matches this season.

Previously in league history, Ipswich Town had failed to score in their first three matches in the 1969-1970 and 1970-1971 seasons.
