Aston Villa climbed out of the Premier League's relegation zone with just one game remaining thanks to바카라 웹사이트a 1-0 home win over Arsenal, ending the Gunners' slim hopes of a top-seven finish.바카라 웹사이트 (More Football News)
Villa - who had been in the bottom three since before the season's March suspension - were faced with opponents invigorated by consecutive wins over바카라 웹사이트Liverpool and Manchester City in the league and FA Cup바카라 웹사이트respectively.바카라 웹사이트
But Dean Smith's men were boosted ahead of kick-off as바카라 웹사이트City's comprehensive win at Watford바카라 웹사이트significantly dented바카라 웹사이트their fellow strugglers' goal difference.바카라 웹사이트
Victory by just a single goal would, therefore, take Villa above Watford at this crucial stage of the campaign -바카라 웹사이트and바카라 웹사이트Trezeguet's바카라 웹사이트third strike in three matches - a rare unbeaten stretch - provided just that.바카라 웹사이트
Not until the 27th minute did either side enjoy a sight of goal, but the Villa winger took that first chance when it finally came.바카라 웹사이트
A바카라 웹사이트corner skipped through the Arsenal box to reach the right boot of바카라 웹사이트Trezeguet, who thumped a fine low finish past Emiliano Martinez.
Jack Grealish advanced from halfway to send a fierce effort just past the top-right corner shortly before half-time, while Arsenal openings remained scarce.바카라 웹사이트
Mikel바카라 웹사이트Arteta's바카라 웹사이트men needed three points to maintain an unlikely bid for European qualification through the league, so a response after the restart seemed inevitable.바카라 웹사이트
However, there was little improvement in the visiting ranks as Villa instead passed up a huge opportunity to double their advantage, substitute Keinan바카라 웹사이트Davis wastefully lashing wide.바카라 웹사이트
Eddie바카라 웹사이트Nketiah바카라 웹사이트sought to punish that miss and came바카라 웹사이트agonisingly바카라 웹사이트close to a바카라 웹사이트leveller, heading against the post before the ball dropped into Pepe Reina's arms.바카라 웹사이트
Arsenal ultimately would not muster a single shot on target, only Martinez's save denying바카라 웹사이트John McGinn as Villa put바카라 웹사이트their top-flight status into their own hands heading into Sunday's final day.
What does it mean? Agony to ecstasy - and vice versa바카라 웹사이트
The concession of a late바카라 웹사이트equaliser바카라 웹사이트to Everton's ex-Arsenal man Theo Walcott felt a mammoth blow to Villa last Thursday, but they maintained an upturn in form here and thoroughly deserved a vital win.바카라 웹사이트
Arsenal, by contrast, came back down to earth with a bump after two surprising results in their바카라 웹사이트favour. The FA Cup바카라 웹사이트now offers their only route into the바카라 웹사이트Europa League.바카라 웹사이트
Villa's unlikely hero바카라 웹사이트
Grealish was widely expected to be바카라 웹사이트the man most likely to pull Villa clear of danger when the season resumed, but he has not recorded a single goal or assist since.바카라 웹사이트
Thankfully for Villa,바카라 웹사이트Trezeguet바카라 웹사이트has suddenly come to the fore. The Egyptian now has as many goals in his past three Premier League games as in his previous 30.바카라 웹사이트
More set-piece woe바카라 웹사이트
Arsenal have now conceded a remarkable 21 of their 46 Premier League goals against this season from set-piece situations.바카라 웹사이트They looked nervy each time Conor Hourihane stood over a corner.바카라 웹사이트
The goal was especially sloppy as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang switched off and was beaten to a near-post flick by Tyrone Mings before바카라 웹사이트Trezeguet바카라 웹사이트netted.바카라 웹사이트
