Arsenal failed to capitalise on a beautiful undeserved two goal lead by drawing with fourth placed rivals Aston Villa. Villa Played relentlessly to salvage a point against their rivals.
Aston Villa, led by Martin O neill, have shown a new English face in the EPL. They have played brillliantly, taking all opportunities, and are now placed comfortably at fourth place.
Villa started the game dominantly, playing Arsenal after 41 days only, and took early chances, but it seemed that luck wasnt on their side, as Agbonlahor, Sidwell and Barry all hit the post before Arsenal took advantage of a flukey chance as Denilson dragged the ball away from Knight and edged the ball past Friedel.
Sagna played brilliantly, edging the ball away from goal with a bicycle kick after Agbonlahor headed the ball past Almunia. He assisted Persie well, though Persie missed a chance into open goal by hitting the bar.
Arsenal scored again after a brilliant run by Diaby. The 6 foot 3 in midfield then shot past Friedel as Arsenal led 2-0. But alas, it was not to be. A 64th minute defensive error saw a worried Gallas foul Agbonlahor In the box. Barry took the penalty , and scored immedialtely, sending Almunia the wrong way.
Then Villa put pressure at the right places and Knight finally leveled after a clean left footed shot into the goal. Villa drew 2-2 with Arsenal.
POOR GUNNERS!!!
