Arsenal Continues Winning Streak with Easy Victory Against Aston Villa
by privatebet.com - 2021/10/23
Arsenal has been on fire since the start of the Premier League, and their latest match extended their unbeaten run to six matches. The Gunners faced Aston Villa on Friday and managed to score an easy and commanding win with the result 3-1. Thomas Partey scored his first goal for Arsenal 23 minutes into the game, and it was smooth sailing from there. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang secured Arsenal's second goal when he converted the rebound after a saved penalty. Smith Rowe sealed the deal with the Gunners’ third goal in the second half. Aston Villa was desperately trying to make a comeback, but Jacob Ramsey’s late goal was nothing but a consolation prize. It came only eight minutes before the final whistle and the Villa’s chances were pretty slim by that time. With one goal and one assist, Smith Rowe was the shiniest star of the match, and Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta praised him for becoming “a real important player in such a big club”. He also applauded the performance of the entire team and said he’s really proud of them. “We attacked them really aggressively, we won every duel. We were creative, a threat… This is how we have to play. This is when we are good, when we play with real desire, real commitment, and have clear ideas of how to attack,” Arteta told reporters.
