Aston Villa achieved a historic club milestone by securing their 15th consecutive home win in the league with a tight 1-0 victory over Arsenal, courtesy of McGinn’s early goal. The Villa captain swiftly netted just seven minutes into the game, driving a remarkable shot into the top corner. Although they struggled to create further scoring opportunities, their defensive resilience posed significant challenges for Arsenal.
Carlos emerged as a defensive hero with two crucial goal-line clearances, thwarting attempts from Martinelli and a potential own goal stemming from a corner.
While Saka managed to slot one into the net, it was nullified due to offside, and Havertz’s late 90th-minute equalizer was disallowed after the referee spotted a handball in the buildup.
Villa maintains their third-place position in the league, closing the gap to just one point behind Arsenal and trailing Liverpool by only two points at the top following their recent win. Their upcoming fixture sees them facing Zrinjski in the Europa Conference League next Thursday.
Meanwhile, Arsenal faced only their second league defeat this season, missing an opportunity to reclaim the top spot. Their next fixture takes them to face PSV in the Champions League on Tuesday.
