Aston Villa scored a brilliant goal in the opening 40 seconds. Jack Grealish gets the ball in the left wing, goes past Holding then releases the ball to McGinn who fires a wonderful shot to the top left corner. After lengthy review by VAR, the goal was cancelled as Barkley was in an offside position before McGinn scored.
The Villians pressure finally paid when they scored yet another goal in the 25th minute. Grealish, Barkley and Targett combined well in the left wing with Targett sending a delightful low cross across goal. unfortunately for Saka, the young English Midfielder played the ball into his own net after being under pressure from Trezequet.
Aston Villa were simply the better team in the first half. Dan Smith side controlled the game, limiting Arsenal's chance in the opposition half.
In the build up to Aston Villa's first goal, Willian lost the ball in Arsenal's attack allowing the opposition the opportunity to catch Arsenal on the counter.
