Aston Villa finally got off the mark on the shot-on-target charts this season, but couldn't turn it into three points as Unai Emery's side were held 0-0 by Hull City, according to Sky Sports.
The stalemate marked Emery's 200th game in charge of Villa, yet the milestone brought no breakthrough despite Villa creating clear-cut chances to win it. Hull, meanwhile, continued their impressive early-season form, remaining unbeaten and recording their third consecutive clean sheet in what Sky Sports describes as a dream start to the campaign.
For Villa, the result offers a first point but plenty of frustration - a first shot on target all season represents progress of sorts, though missed opportunities will nag at Emery as his side search for more attacking sharpness. Hull's resilience, by contrast, continues to be the story of their season so far, with another shutout underlining a defensive solidity that has kept them competitive against a Premier League outfit.
