Welcome to our post-match analysis of the Premier League 2 encounter on the 27th of January 2023 between West Bromwich Albion U21 and Aston Villa U21.

It was decidedly a one-sided affair, with Aston Villa decimating their opponents and netting four unanswered goals. A close look at the data reveals that the away team's early dominance set the stage for the rest of the game. Scoring two goals within the first ten minutes, particularly at the 2nd and the 9th minute, they stunned the home side and established an early lead. West Bromwich was never able to bounce back from this early shock.

While both teams were relatively disciplined, with only a single yellow card each, the timing of these cautions denotes a difference in control. West Bromwich received their card in the first half at 32nd min which may have contributed to their cautious play whereas the away side only received their yellow in the 75th minute when they had an assertive 4-0 lead.

Analyzing set-piece data, Aston Villa showed extra prowess and created more goal-scoring opportunities by winning a total of four corners compared to West Bromwich's two. Given the match's high goal count, with every chance created proving crucial, it is not hard to see how advantageous these extra set-pieces were for Aston Villa.

Even though we lack detailed shooting statistics, the scoreline strongly suggests that Aston Villa was far more clinical in this match. With four goals from presumably not many more attempts, their conversion rate was seemingly superior.

Looking at the substitutions provided by each team, we cannot make any conclusive statements due to the lack of data. The same goes for the performance of the goalkeepers: while the fact that West Bromwich’s conceded four goals might point towards a bleak performance, the absence of specific statistics precludes any decisive judgement.

In conclusion, the significant factors that influenced this match's outcome were the early goals scored by Aston Villa, which demoralized the opposing team and gave them command over the rest of the match. The extra corner kicks won by the away team also provided them with additional opportunities to score. Well done to Aston Villa U21 on their impressive victory. As they look to replicate this form in upcoming matches, West Bromwich Albion U21 will have to bounce back from this harsh defeat.
