Aston Villa are still continuing incredibly well. They have added another win to their streak. This was their eighth home win at the same time. With this performance they can even fight for the title but it is still early to talk about that of course. Because their consistency level will determine that. However for now Aston Villa are definitely doing much bigger work than their capacity.
This is thanks to Emery's great working system of course. The bond between the players and him must also be very strong now. They stay really mentally strong against even the biggest teams of the league. They have just beaten Manchester City and Arsenal I mean this is very impressive.
Aston Villa is certainly in the conversation for the Premier League race
Beat Arsenal and the champions Manchester City, 15 home wins in a row, 3rd and 2 points off the top. Villa is riding on the crest of a wave at the moment.
But It wasn't a bad game by Arsenal. I think they were a bit intimidated because the coach wasn’t there. Normally they wouldn't let such an easy goal in.
Overall, It was an amazing game. Arsenal at least deserved a goal.
I must say that I underrated Aston Villa this season, they were not even caught by my radar of the clubs that would make a headway this season. But see what they are doing. Should I call this luck or what? It's obviously beyond luck this time, though it's a lone goal with Man City and Arsenal, yet, a goal is a goal and a win can't be treated less. They've really improved with their defence majorly and I must give them that, which is what is helping them so much this season as they try as much as possible not to concede any goal, and even if they were scored against, they limit it to the barest minimum. That's the spirit of a good team, this is even as their scoring sense is somewhat good, after all it's above average with big clubs and topnotch with lesser clubs.
As it is now, they are truly a major contender for the EPL Cup this season and I don't see them finishing anywhere lower than the 4th position. However, I also do not see them winning the trophy this time, the likes of Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal will still lift that Cup eventually. Nevertheless, they are doing well, and when they beat Man City on Wednesday, I thought Man City was not in their best form yet which is still acceptable as they even won by a goal in the second half when Leo Bailey delivered the winning shot but Man City couldn't win from then to finish. That still deserves Kudos. But the Arsenal issues are slightly different, Aston Villa was lucky to score at the very beginning (7th minute) but Arsenal couldn't even deliver a single goal. Also, Aston Villa had that strong defence that Arsenal couldn't penetrate. Going forward, that's a wonderful win and an advantage, after all, two big teams in EPL were beaten in just a week by them, they need an award for that judging by their performances in the past season. I believe they will continue to deliver with the right feat as no club is insurmountable for them with what they have already done.
