On Sunday afternoon, Mikel Arteta’s squad missed the opportunity to climb to the summit of the Premier League standings. Arsenal reclaimed the Premier League championship on Sunday afternoon following Liverpool’s shоcking loss to Crystal Palace. However, as a chance to take the lead beckoned, Mikel Arteta’s squad withered under the pressure, and Aston Villa snatched three points away with ease in the final ten minutes.

The 2-0 loss will be even more painful to bear in mind, given that Arsenal dominated the first half. However, just before halftime, they nearly conceded the lead to Villa through a peculiar pass attempt by Gabriel that gave Ollie Watkins a chance on goal but restricted him to the inside of the post. Arsenal had their finest opportunity of the first forty-five minutes shortly thereafter, when Leandro Trossard narrowly missed a close-range effort blocked by Emiliano Martinez with his feet, following excellent work by Bukayo Saka.After the intermission, tension began to rise at the Emirates, especially after Youri Tielemans’ vicious outside-the-box strike missed the bar and post, but also because Arsenal had failed to match the intensity of the first half. They were ultimately punished, first when a clanger from Raya gave Bailey ample time to complete the pass at the back post, and then when Ollie Watkins was set free to lob the injured Spaniard, they were pushed for the winner. As they enter the final six games of the season with a two-point lead over both of their title rivals, the outcome will make Manchester City positively gulping. Arsenal, on the contrary, are pressed for time to recover. On Wednesday evening, they return to Champions League action against Bayern Munich.

David Raya (4/10):A dreadful, dreadful error yielded Bailey Villa her initial. I was launched as well. Until that moment, he had been in good health, but that will all be forgotten.

Ben White (7/10):Preceded the match by being named Arsenal’s March Player of the Month, and continued his outstanding form thereafter. He so seldom commits an error.Gabriel (5/10):A catastrophic epiphany nearly cost his team a goal early in the first half. Appeared uncomfortable the entire time.

William Saliba (5/10):A few of his early interventions were crucial, but he did not exactly deserve credit for the opening goal.Oleksandr Zinchenko (5/10):Captured in a few peculiar areas, which provided Villa with the opportunity to counter. Occasionally, overly complicated matters on the ball.

Declan Rice (6/10):Reverted to a more reclusive midfield position and appeared to be playing well. It will be intriguing to see whether he remаins in this city against Bayern for the rematch.

Martin Odegaard (7/10):Completely unplayable during the initial half, Villa was unable to penetrаte his defense. After that, faded.

Kai Havertz (6/10):Some of his runs were precisely timed, and he carried out his out-of-possession responsibilities with diligence. A minor dearth of conviction was evident in the final third.Bukayo Saka (6/10):His frantic dribbling and direct dashes caused Villa quite a few complications. Slightly approached with several endeavors.

Gabriel Jesus (4/10):His wavelength did not always coincide with that of his fellow assailants. Frequently caught offside as well. Although his performance off the ball was commendable, he must provide a greater menace in games such as this one.Leandro Trossard (4/10):Just prior to halftime, a conversion from close range was required. Although he exhibited nimble footwork and relentless pressure on a few occasions, he would have delighted to score again with Bayern in close proximity.

Subs & Manager

(6/10) Takehiro Tomiyasu:Solid, as one might anticipate. Sane’s designation could potentially fall under his purview on Wednesday evening.(5/10) Gabriel Martinelli:A very modest cameo once more.Jorginho: (4 /10)Poorly conceded the possession in the buildup to Villa’s second.(4/10) Emile Smith Rowe:Watkins rinned as he sprinted away to score.Arteta Mikel (4/10):The resumption of Arsenal’s poor finishing in the first half frustrated the Spaniard considerably. Additionally, errors are becoming alarmingly frequent. A firm grasp on the situation must be attempted prior to Wednesday’s encounter.
