London, England— It was a sad day for Arsenal as they realized they celebrated a 3-point gain too soon. Having just taken over second place after the draw between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool, the Gunners bragged of their ability to steal a win over the premier league cup.
Determined to put their money where their mouth is, Arsenal showed up with their A game in their terrain on Saturday, 18th January 2025, scoring the first goal of the match in the first half, and another early goal in the second half. As fans celebrated what they thought was a sealed victory, Aston Villa made an unbelievable comeback with two goals within 8 minutes.
What looked like a win for Arsenal ended in a draw, putting them in a critical position as Forest’s win today put them at the same point. The gap between the Gunners and the 1st place widens.
