Manchester City Held, Arsenal Back On Top
Arsenal produced a second half masterclass to beat Aston Villa 4-2 in an entertaining English Premier League match played at Villa Park today.
The Gunners needed to react to Wednesday’s defeat to Manchester City but with five minutes on the clock, they were already trailing.
A lapse in concentration in the Arsenal defence saw Ollie Watkins fully taking advantage to put Villa ahead from close range.
A defensive error by Tyron Mings, who failed to head the ball into touch, saw Buyako Saka capitalizing and blasting home the equalizer in the 16th minute, before Phil Coutinho restored Villa’s lead in the 31st minute.
Villa led 2-1 at the half time break.

Arsenal came back for the second half determined to turn the situation around and did just that, first through a Oleksandr Zinchenko 61st minute equalizer to make it 2-2.
A late Emiliano Martinez own goal completed the turn around for Arsenal before Gabriel Martinelli put the final nail on the Villa coffin in time added on.
Meanwhile, Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Nottingham Forest.
Bernardo Silva put City ahead just before half time, before Chris Wood leveled matters for Forest in the 81st minute.
As a result, Arsenal are back at the top of the Premier League table, two points ahead of second-placed City.
