There was a rollercoaster of emotions at the Emirates Stadium today as Arsenal’s bid for the top four took a dramatic turn with a 2-0 defeat against AstonVilla. Mikel Arteta’s side, aiming to reclaim the top spot, fell short in the dying minutes, conceding two goals and relinquishing the lead to Manchester City.

Leon Bailey’s strike and Ollie Watkins’ late goal sealed the victory for Villa, handing their manager Unai Emery another triumphant moment against his former club. This loss marks Arsenal’s first in 12 league games, pushing them down to second place, two points adrift from City.

With Liverpool closely trailing behind in third place, the race for the top four intensifies as the season enters its final stretch. Manchester City’s dominant performance against Luton put additional pressure on Arsenal, who missed an opportunity to capitalize on Liverpool’s earlier defeat to Crystal Palace.
