Arsenal had plenty of chances against Aston Villa but lost at home, perhaps handing the Championship to their opponents.The performance you show or will show in such matches is very important.You beat other opponents in one way or another but Aston Villa are in a good position in the league and they are also in the race with Totthenham to go to the champions league.Aston Villa have a midweek match to play in the European conference league as well as being in the league race. Of course, both teams have European games to play, but Arsenal had the advantage here, but they couldn't take advantage of it.The championship race will definitely continue until the last week, but City seems to have taken a really big advantage as of this week.Aston Villa scored the winning goals close to the last minutes of the game, which upset the Arsenal side.
We can see how Aston Villa destroyed Arsenal in the last 10 minutes of the match. They were too chasing victory so they forgot about the defense line which in the end was exploited by Aston Villa who were able to score 2 goals in just 3 minutes. The first goal scored by Aston Villa hurt Arsenal a little and they tried to equalize. Instead of getting the equalizing goal, they lost another goal which made their mentality drop drastically.
Overall the match was actually controlled by Arsenal, but they couldn't score a goal. Bhakan Aston Villa actually had almost no open opportunities for them before the 2 goals were scored. I thought it was very likely that the match would end in a draw, but that thought was shattered by Aston Villa in the last 10 minutes before the match ended.
This result means they cannot return to the top of the standings and have to give up Manchester City who are in that position.
Well, I must confess that yesterday was a very disappointing day for the Arsenal fans, really really disappointing, my brother who is a hardcore Arsenal fan went out yesterday to watch the Aston villa verses Arsenal match, he came back looking like he was hit by a truck, when asked what happening to him, he didn't say anything, he just walked straight to his room and shut the door against us, when called upon to come and have his dinner, he said he was not hungry, we all wondered what was wrong with him, when I later discovered that Aston villa best Arsenal by 2 goals to nothing, I realized what his problem was.
I am also an Arsenal fan but I am not as hardcore in it as my brother, but nevertheless, when I discovered that the outcome of yesterday's match, I was also very disappointed, it's really unfortunate that Arsenal will allow Aston destroy them in such a manner, and right now, their chances of winning the title this season have been slimmed out, it's now looking like the competition is between Manchester city and Liverpool.
But all the same, Manchester city still have some games to play as well as Arsenal and Liverpool, if Manchester city will some how lose some of the games in their line up, the Arsenal may likely still have a chance of climbing to the top again if they do not lose or draw any of their coming games.
