BREAKING: Massive Twist In EPL Title Race As Aston Villa Defeat #Arsenal At #Emirates Stadium—Arsenal’s hopes of winning the title have been dealt a potentially fatal blow after loosing 2 nil to Aston Villa at Emirates Stadium
A famous victory for Aston Villa and their second in the Premier League against Arsenal this season.
Their first, back in December, was great but this one was truly phenomenal.
Both goals richly deserved and a reward for the game-plan, effort and quality showed.
With this result, Manchester City are now fully in charge at the top of the English Premier League, with Liverpool also suffering from a shocking home defeat to Crystal Palace.
Arsenal needed a win to remain on top of the premier league but they threw away their opportunities.
After a goalless first half, Villa scored two late goals to silence the crowd at the Emirates Stadium.
Villa struck six minutes to the end of the match. Lucas Digne sprayed a pass out to Leon Bailey and he had an easy job to slot the ball into an empty net to make the score 0-1.
Three minutes later, Ollie Watkins received a killer pass, found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper and scored with aplomb inside the left post for Villa’s second goal.
Four minutes into added time, the visitors almost score another goal. Watkins received a killer pass, but his shot from the six-yard box was a disaster. He miskicked and made it very easy for David Raya to get hold of the ball.
Earlier, Watkins produced a header from inside the box, but the ball floated just over the bar.
In the 12th minute, Kai Havertz received a precise pass in the box and took the shot early. The ball headed towards the middle of the goal, but Emiliano Martinez showed off his skills and made a brilliant save to deny him.
In the 39th minute, Watkins unleashed a thunderous effort from the edge of the box and the ball crashed against the left post.
