EPL: Aston Villa close gap on top spot with stunning victory over Arsenal

Aston Villa continued their remarkable home form by defeating Arsenal 1-0 at Villa Park on Saturday, extending their unbeaten run at home to 15 games – a first in the club’s history.

Coming off their impressive win against Manchester City, the Villans were once again at their dominant best, silencing a boisterous Arsenal side.

The Villians, who held the record for not losing matches where they scored first this season continued in that light with John McGinn’s early seventh-minute strike.
