Dan Kilpatrick on Arsenal v Aston Villa
Transcript
00:00 Hello from the Emirates, that noise you can hear behind me is the Aston Villa fans celebrating a huge
00:05 tuna win over Arsenal this evening which has put a massive dent in the Gunners title hopes
00:10 while boosting Villa's own hopes of finishing in the top four above Spurs. It was a really
00:16 impressive performance by the visiting side, you know Emery's visiting side of course,
00:22 the Spaniard returning here with goals from Leon Bailey, the substitute and Ollie Watkins
00:27 in the last 10 minutes sealing this win. The upshot is that the title is now in the hands
00:33 of Manchester City, they're two points clear at the top of the table after defeats for both
00:37 Liverpool who went down one nil at home for Crystal Palace and Arsenal here. I think there's a very
00:43 good chance we'll look back on this as the weekend that proved decisive in a Manchester City title,
00:49 they've got six games, we know how imperious they are in these positions. For Arsenal there is the
00:56 chance to pile the pressure on City, they played twice before City are back in action again because
01:01 Pep Guardiola started playing in the FA Cup semi-final next weekend against Chelsea but this
01:07 felt like a really really really damaging defeat and they're kind of fighting to keep their season
01:12 alive I suppose this week with the decisive match in their tie, their quarterfinal tie against Bayern
01:20 Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday night. So a grim afternoon for Arsenal here
01:26 and they've got to make sure it doesn't get worse in Germany midweek.
