Trezeguet matches Joachim and Yorke’s Aston Villa record with brace against Fulham

Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet’s double for Aston Villa against Fulham in Sunday’s Premier League outing meant that the Egypt international has equalled a club mark achieved only by Julian Joachim and Dwight Yorke.

Coming off the bench to bag a brace in the 3-1 defeat of Scott Parker’s men, Trezeguet became only the third player in the club’s history to have found the net at least twice as a substitute.

3 - Trézéguet is only the third Aston Villa substitute to score twice in a single Premier League match, after Julian Joachim v Derby in September 2000 and Dwight Yorke v Liverpool in May 1994.
