Aston Villa 1 Arsenal 0: Emery gets one over ex-club as Villans win to near top
Aston Villa for the title? Stranger things have happened.
For now, though, Emery can take satisfaction from maintaining his side’s stunning home record and continuing their fabulous 2023.
And, of course, from doing a little damage to the aspirations of the club where he became a scapegoat for the stuttering start to the post-Arsene Wenger era.
John McGinn’s brilliant early goal earned them a very different victory to their triumph against current champions Manchester City.
On Wednesday night, Emery’s merry men totally outplayed City and restricted them to just two shots on target, the fewest of Pep Guardiola’s glittering reign in the Premier League.
Today at a vibrant Villa Park, they gave up some golden opportunities but Arsenal, and captain Martin Odegaard in particular, wasted them and so passed up the opportunity to return to the top of the league.On the overall balance of play, a draw would have been a fair result. And the Gunners thought they had snatched a point in the 90th minute, only for referee Jarred Gillett to rule out Eddie Nketiah’s close-range effort for handball by Kai Havertz.
Manager Mikel Arteta was forced to watch his side lose their second game of the league season from the stands after picking up his third yellow card for over-celebrating his side’s last-kick winner against Luton in midweek.
