Aston Villa
Arsenal's rousing victory against Aston Villa this past weekend took place at home. However, fans will surely want to have an Arsenal yellow jersey ready for the team's February 8th fixture, an away game against Tottenham Hotspur.
The game against the Lions was a celebratory occasion for Gunners fans. Arsenal beat Aston Villa rather handily the first time the two teams played this season. That game was played back in September, when players donned the Arsenal away shirt 2014 2015 and headed off to Villa Park to do battle with the Claret and Blue. The result was a 3-0 triumph, the football squad's second win of the 2014 2015 Premier League season, and their first away victory.
Fast-forward to January 31st, and the odds were heavily in Arsenal's favor. The Gunners have ascended to a position in the top five of the 2014 2015 Premier League. Aston Villa, meanwhile, has slipped to 16th place. And since the Gunners would have the home field advantage, no one was going to bet against them.
For good reason, it turned out. The home football squad dominated the match from start to finish, starting with a goal from Olivier Giroud at the eight-minute mark. The game would go to halftime with the score still stuck at 1-0, but the home side really turned the heat on in the second half. Indeed, Mesut Ozil, Theo Walcott, Santi Cazorla, and Hector Bellerin all scored their own goals in the second part of the game.
All told, the fixture ended 5-0 in favor of the Gunners. It's the club's biggest victory of the 2014 2015 season so far, and they didn't even have their top goal-scorer on the field. Alexis Sanchez, who has led Arsenal with 18 overall goals this season, is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Climbing up the Ladder
The win not only showed that Arsenal can score big victories without their best player, but it also highlighted the Gunners as potential dark horse contenders for the 2014 2015 title. The outcome gave the club a big boost in both standings points and goal difference. A similar outcome next week, when the squad wears the Arsenal yellow jersey for an away match against Tottenham, could push them into the top three.
Of course, there are many factors at work here, and the speed of Arsenal's climb up the Premier League ladder will depend in part on how the other top teams perform in the coming weeks. Of the top four teams in the division, only Manchester United won a game this past weekend. Southampton lost 0-1 against Swansea City, and Chelsea and Man City drew in a fixture against one another.
Those outcomes leave the league standings looking like this: Chelsea (53 points); Man City (48); Manchester Utd (43); Southampton (42); Arsenal (42). Southampton is an inch ahead, thanks to a goal difference rating that is one point superior. Manchester United, meanwhile, has a lower goal difference rating than either club.
In other words, the Gunners could easily leapfrog their way into third place with a single win. Grab a yellow Arsenal away shirt 2014 2015 today and hope for that win to happen this coming weekend, when the football club takes on Tottenham.
