Arsenal Return To The Top

Posted by African Examiner Sports News Monday, January 13th, 2014

Two quick goals inside one minute against Aston Villa were all that Arsenal needed to return to the top of the Barclays Premier League on Monday.

England international Jack Wilshere’s brilliant goal was quickly followed with another by Olivier Giroud in less than a minute.

The gunners outclassed their hosts from the blast of the whistle with their passing game as they made Villa chase the ball from one end of the pitch to another for the better part of the first half.

Villa’s hopes of rescuing a point from the game was raised in the 76th minutes when Christian Benteke headed in his first goal after three months after Santi Cazorla casually gave the ball in a vital area.
