Arsenal narrowly beat Aston Villa, inch closer to Champions League qualification
Arsenal on Saturday defeated Aston Villa by a lone goal in the English Premier League, moving closer to qualifying for Champions League.
The Gunners bounced back from last week 2-0 home defeat to Liverpool, grabbing all three points at Villa Park.
Bukayo Saka netted Arsenal’s winning goal in the 30th minutes, opening a four point gap between the Gunners and fifth place struggling Manchester United.
Arsenal dominated 54 per cent of ball possession, taking three shots on target, while the home side had 46 ball possession with just one shot on target.
Though with a very bad start at the beginning of the season, Arsenal has wiggled their way into the top four position under the watch of Mikel Arteta.
With one pending game, Arsenal stand the chance of increasing their lead margin to seven points to firmly secure fourth position and a return to Champions League after five years.
