Aston Villa was spared a “funeral”!

A point that before the match would have been failurebut after his evolution he should probably leave her happy took the Aston Villa!

Unai Emery’s team found it dark from the fighting Sheffield United and escaped the first defeat this year at home (1-1).

Stressed and misguided, the “villagers” they were temporarily happy Bailey’s goal in the 59th minute, after it was finally canceled by his intervention VAR (for an offensive foul earlier on the goalkeeper).

Shortly before the end (and specifically at 87′) were faced with a huge “funeral” from the bottom of the league:

When the Archer hit the target from close range and freeze up the “Villa Park”!

However, the hosts did not give up. They pushed to the end. And with him Janiolo to cash in with a close header wrong output of Foderingham, saved the lot at 97′.

So they failed to continue the impressive streak 16 straight wins in their “home”, but they got at least the grade, with which even temporarily they caught Arsenal at the top.
