This season's Premier League has entered the second half of the league, because the Blues Manchester City, the Reds Liverpool and the Blues Chelsea have formed the first group, and maintain a certain gap with the teams behind them, which means that this season's Premier League drama has become more intense, and many teams will compete for the last to qualify for next season's Champions League, among which arsenal, known as the gunners who are known as the four crazy devils, after experiencing a nightmarish season start, Gradually returned to the right track under the leadership of head coach Arteta, climbing to the fourth place in the table with excellent performance, but in the last round of the match with the Reds Liverpool, Arsenal lost 2 goals at home, giving the team behind them the hope of catching up, in the 30th round of the Premier League, Arsenal away to challenge Aston Villa in the middle of the table, although the Gunners played twice a week, they still firmly controlled the situation in the game, And with a long-range shot from Saka in the first half of the chaotic battle, he successfully won 1-0 away to Aston Villa, further consolidating his position in the fourth place in the table!
Just after the midweek and Liverpool make-up match, Arsenal after only a day off, rushed to the away game to usher in the league with Aston Villa, fatigue is also the reason why many Gunners fans worried about the team's winning prospects before the game, but after the start of the game, Arsenal showed a good competitive state, especially the team's defense did not give aston Villa a chance to play at home.
In the whole game, Aston Villa had a 47% possession rate, although it created 7 shots on goal, but only 1 hit within the goal frame, which also made Arsenal's goalkeeper Leno most of the time a spectator on the pitch, but in the final moments of the game, Leno saved a very threatening long-range shot from Coutinho and successfully saved the victory, and although Arsenal created a lot of threatening offensive opportunities on the offensive end, the attacking players did not perform well. The suspense of not being able to end the game early also has something to do with their fatigue fighting.
In the 29th minute of the first half, Arsenal scored a free-kick on the right, causing chaos in the Aston Villa penalty area, and the ball finally fell to the feet of Saka, who kept pulling the ball out of the front of the penalty area and shooting directly through the Aston Villa goal, scoring the only goal of the game, and this goal was also arsenal's 2,000th goal in the history of the league.
In addition to this goal, Arsenal actually had many opportunities to rewrite the score, but unfortunately did not grasp it, the opening 3rd minute Ofco's pass, let Smithro get the opportunity to get up in the box, but his anti-aircraft gun successfully cleared the opponent, in the 18th minute or Smithro missed the perfect opportunity to push the empty goal in front of the goal, which is also the reason why the Gunners were very embarrassed in the last moment!
After winning this game, Arsenal is 4 points ahead of their opponents in one less game than the fifth-place Red Devils Manchester United, which can be said to have firmly grasped the initiative to compete for four, hoping that in the next game, they can continue to play well and strive to return to the Champions League next season!
