Aston Villa planned to ruin Arsenal’s title dream as they claimed three points at the Emirates in a 2-0 win on Sunday evening.
Both sides have had plenty of chances to open the scoring in the opening 45 minutes, but a mix of wayward finishing and superb goalkeeping keeps the game level.
Jerrymusa.com reports that Saka has had plenty of joy down the right-hand side since the match got under way, and his cross to the back post fell on the head of Jesus, but he failed to hit the target from just a few yards out.
Arsenal Strikes Wide
Watkins had Villa’s best opportunity of the game as he pounced on a mistake from Gabriel at the back, but his powerful effort from the edge of the box struck the inside of the post.
Just a few moments later, the Gunners went up the other end and should have broken the deadlock, as Trossard arrived in the six-yard box to get on the end of a cross from Jesus, but Martinez made a superb save to deny him and keep the scoreline at 0-0.
McGinn finds Moreno on the left-hand side, and he picks out Digne in behind the Arsenal defence. He delivers into the penalty area, and Torres goes to meet it, but he misses the ball, and it falls to Bailey at the back post. The Jamaican winger arrives and fires it into the back of the net.
Tielemans sends Watkins in behind the defence, and the English striker goes one-on-one with Smith Rowe. He shifts it to his right, and he lifts it over Raya in goal.
Full-time, Aston Villa victorious against Arsenal at the Emirates.
