He Aston Villa again appeared against him Arsenal that in football some things are just coincidences. He did it in Villa Park, against a team playing neither more nor less than the leader. However, as happened in City of Manchester A few days ago (1-0), they were trailing the whole game. The one in Emery They impose their law and their rhythm. And 1-0 was enough again.
The first half is a clear example of what country, a team that presses high until it suffocates the rival, recovers in the opposite field and creates chances on the sides. Once he was ahead, he exchanged high pressure on moments of rest in his own half.
The beginning is brilliant, too Arsenal without being able to leave one’s own field. In the 7th minute, after a great drive through Bailey and a nice back pass, received by McGinnwhich after half a turn put it in the unreachable square for Drawing. That’s where the villains began to manage the result, making Arsenal uncomfortable and not allowing them to connect passes. The gunners tried this by giving width down the right with passes into space Then, but they are too vague. Around minute 35 they started looking for the key, in the back Konsa, who suffered greatly in the final minutes. In this way many opportunities come, the most obvious Jesus and Odegaard, who encountered ‘Dibu’. The Norwegian took a kind of movement penalty after several threats, but for a short distance Martinez it is growing

Mikel Arteta
In the first fifteen minutes of the second period he was able to completely change the outcome, the Arsenal pressed, sunk country and he bound them. A stick, Emi pauses and an incomprehensible mistake by Odegaard They prevented the equalizer. The Norwegian was very clear with the best play of the game, after a great pass at the back Havertzbut he missed an opportunity that a player of his talent rarely misses.
The changes gave air to the Villa
The relentless pressure of the first half took a toll on players’ legs and until the new players started to come in, they lived at Arsenal’s expense. With the changes, in their own field they were once again very aggressive, closing gaps and making Arsenal’s presence miserable. With the ball they quickly came out on the counterattack, with two or three passes, found Diaby in space and Watkins in place, which could not cope Drawing. The Spanish performed well.
Arteta He despaired in the stands at the incompetence of his players, who could not find the key to access the ‘Dibu’ networks. The goal came in the 91st minute Havertz, which was disallowed for previous handball after a disturbance in the venue. However, Arsenal were very upset not because the goal was disallowed, but because no penalty was called, in the action before the German’s handball.
The record at Villa Park
The last 15 games of Premier League of Aston Villa They end the same way: in a villainous victory. Numbers that they have not achieved in 150 years of life. In the House of Emeryhe imposes his conditions.
