Arsenal will not repeat the man city mistake that cost them against unai emery and aston villa. Arsenal have seen how aston villa defeated manchester city and will not repeat the same mistake thanks to key midfield enforcers. In wednesday night’s 1-0 victory over manchester city, arsenal secured a 1-0 victory, but there were significant differences in the results.
Unai emery’s side dominated city with opportunities and were tenacious to take advantage of the makeshift side assembled by pep guardiola, who did not hesitate to break up the city attacks and play industriously to stay in the game before taking their chance. Villa was able to profit from guardiola’s choice.
Rico lewis and john stones were supposed to be the middle third’s fulcrums with manuel akanji, but it just didn’t work. Villa’s orthodox central midfielders meant simple turnovers and space were at a premium.
