EPL:See Reasons Aston Villa Lost 4-1 to Arsenal – Unai Emery
Aston Villa manager, Unai Emery, has insisted his team were in the game until Arsenal got their first goal, as they lost 4-1 on Tuesday night.
Emery admitted that the injury which forced Amadou Onana off during the break, allowed the Gunners to gain control of the midfield.
There was no single Arsenal shot on target in the first half, before they went four goals ahead in the second half.
Gabriel Magalhaes, Martin Zubimendi, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus all scored, before Ollie Watkins pulled one back for Villa in stoppage time.
“We did not concede a lot, no corners in the first half for them,” Emery told BBC Match of the Day.
“But in the second half, the first goal changed everything and after it they pushed it.
“And we had as well the injury of Amadou Onana and we lost everything in the middle and they have the power they showed. And we finished losing.”
FIFA are not looking to punish Argentina players who celebrated their 2-1 victory over England at the World Cup, with a banner referencing the Falkland Islands.
The UK Metro reports that this means the players are unlikely to be banned ahead of Sunday’s final against Spain.
Abiceleste were trailing in the semi-final clash until the 85th minute, when Enzo Fernandez cancelled out Anthony Gordon’s opener.
Lautaro Martinez then headed in Lionel Messi’s cross in the 92nd minute, to ensure they would have a chance to defend their trophy.
After the game, the Argentina squad and staff wildly celebrated on the pitch with a number of players posing with a banner which read, ‘Las Malvinas son Argentinas’, which translates as, ‘The Falklands are Argentine’.
Players including Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez, Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez and former Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso were among the players pictured holding the banner.
Article 34.3 of the World Cup rules prohibits the display of any political messages or slogans by players before, during or after a match.
