Scores in Saturday's win
Buendia scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Buendia scored an excellent goal Saturday, an outside-the-box strike into the top corner in the 79th minute assisted by John McGinn. That goal took the 3-0 lead, which turned out to be very important after Spurs' late surge. It marked Buendia's first goal in the Premier League this season and he also created a season-high three chances in the victory.
Three crosses in defeat
Buendia generated three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Buendia registered one corner and three inaccurate crosses across 63 minutes, also delivering the cross that led to the chaotic sixth-minute sequence where Victor Lindelof twice went close to scoring, before being replaced by Johan Manzambi. He was unable to find the decisive final ball despite Villa's consistent pressure on Forest's back line in the first half. Buendia has started all of Villa's four Premier League fixtures this season without a direct goal contribution despite attempting six shots and creating two chances in that span.
