What an afternoon at the Emirates!
Arsenal seem to be one of those teams that the Villa seem to never be able to beat. Manchester United are the same, but at least we always put up a fight against them regardless of the score. However in the years that I have watched the claret and blue army play against the gunners, I am yet to see a performance worthy of even a point. Until now.
I feared that it may be one of those afternons and as Ashley Young missed his penalty, the score remained at 0-0 with less that 45 minutes to. I will admit that even though we were the better team, ther was an ever-present feeling of pesimism.
This is why walking away with a 2-0 victory isn't just a historic win for the Villa but one that proves we are still in the running for a top four finish. The past couple of games have been dissapointing but what a way to bounce back. Arsenal's form of late has been up and down but in my opinion, this was more a case of us making it physically impossible for them to play their football.
So we look forward to next week and a huge game against Manchester Unites that gives us the oppurtunity to prove we are serious contenders to break the top four and live up to the expectations of fans, players and pundits alike.
