Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal: Emery’s move doesn’t even stop his former team

Aston Villa are a killer of giants in this year’s Premier League as they beat Arsenal by the same score (1-0) just days after their big win over Manchester City. Captain James McGinn scored the golden goal for Unai Emery’s team in the 7th minute after a great development from the hosts and an assist from Leon Bailey. With this win, Villa achieved Birmingham’s 15th consecutive win in the league, a record achievement in the club’s history.

Arsenal had the ball at their feet after the goal and were looking for the goal to get something out of the game. However, he didn’t create many more chances than Villa, who were pretty solid and blocked Emiliano Martines’ shots well enough until the final.

Arteta’s players (who were not on the bench due to a suspension) threatened in the first half, especially in the fifth minute (35-40th) with two good phases from Edgard and Martinelli’s shot in the 36th minute, which was blocked by the defender .

In the second half, Saka scored a goal in the 62nd minute, but the England midfielder was exposed and the goal was disallowed for offside. The same thing happened in the 90th minute with Havertz’s goal, which was canceled by VAR due to a hand from the German.

It remained 1-0 until the end, Aston Villa had 35 and closed the gap on second-placed Arsenal to one, with Liverpool leading on 37.
