Premier League: 5 teams which slumped after winning the league

#4 Aston Villa

Aston Villa was a powerhouse in the early 80s, with club legend Dennis Mortimer taking centre stage.

In the 1980-81 season, Aston Villa won the league due to a great run of form that saw them score a total of 72 goals and concede just 40 goals. In the 42 matches they played, there were 26 wins, 8 draws and only 8 losses.

In the following season, the Lions disappointed with their title defense, having failed to meet the high expectations they set in the previous season. Eventually, the English club finished 11th on the league table, winning 15, losing 15 and drawing 12 of their fixtures.
