Villa were able to score a quick goal... I hope that before the end of the match Arsenal will also be able to score... Judging by the game it seems to me that it is not yet a fact that Villa will be the winner... But if it happens, Liverpool will become the new leader...
Aston villa are quite working on Arsenal mounting too much pressure on them that the defense are making blunder mistakes. Although it was an early goal against Arsenal which many fan will want to blame Ben White for a poor defending to that early goal. The arsenal midfield are doing great including the attacking front but what arsenal failing to do is to give successful through passes and also the attack has been missing chances that would have been converted to goals. Arsenal is in a good position to either draw or win this game if they can be able to convert most of their chances they will be getting in the second half. They have been getting a late hour goals this season maybe that's what they are waiting for.
After their win against Manchester City, Aston Villa's players are also performing well against Arsenal today. And today's match is also Aston Villa's home match. Aston Villa have won every match at home so far.
Aston villa managed to score just 7 minutes into the match. And even after scoring, they are trying to keep their defense tighter. And this is why Arsenal are yet to break down Villa's defence. In 55 minutes many attacks were made by Arsenal players. But they could not score a single goal. I won't be surprised if this match also ends 1-0. But my guess is that the match will be a 1-1 draw.
That win Villa had against Man-City was a big boast for Villa's momentum against Arsenal and the early goal Aston villa got around 7mins in the game gave them a bigger moral to excellently hold arsenal to a stand still that despite how clinical arsenal were in the second half they still couldn't get a goal except for the the goal scored by harvertz but was disallowed by VAR as a hand-ball. Arsenal were quite unlucky in today's game, in football there are good and bad days, today should be taken as one of those bad day for arsenal, not even a draw was at hand.
I am amazed to see how Villa was able to win their two consecutive matches playing against big teams. This has shown that Aston Villa is in their super form and will crush any team that comes across their way. The painful part of their victory against Manchester City and Arsenal is that they won them with the same goal which was 1-0.
Their strategy is for them to look for a means of scoring you first and if they can achieve that, they will try their possible best to make sure that you don't equalise the goal. It is a good strategy that is working for them. Liverpool has taken over the first position from Arsenal, it seems that this season might be theirs, if they can be consistent because Liverpool is in a good form.
