Arsenal 2-2 Villa: Gunners Dealt A Blow In PL Race

Arsenal has already dropped 12 points from winning positions this season and couldn’t hold on against Villa without injured defensive lynchpin William Saliba. It was the first time since 2019 that Arsenal failed to win at home in the Premier League when being two goals clear, with Youri Tielemans and then Watkins converting crosses that might otherwise have been cleared by Saliba. Arsenal looked like snatching a win when Mikel Merino라이브 바카라 shot deflected into the net off Havertz in the 87th minute but the goal was disallowed after a video review spotted the ball struck the arm of Havertz.
