Villa preemptively kept Arsenal at bay with a 1-0 win at Upton Park. This was an enjoyable game to watch, with great running around on both sides, though little to show in the goalbox. Even the game winner, was an unlikely and unlucky (for West Ham) matter of physics, as James Milner's desperation cross bounced off Lucas Neill and rainbowed over Keeper Robert Green and just under the far upper corner of the West Ham goal.
Really harsh stuff on the Hammers, I thought, as they had outplayed A.V. and looked the more likely to score. But fortune favors the fortunate, doesn't it?
Hopefully, the power stays on over night and I'm watching Arsenal beat Liverpool in the morning, regardless of the impact this game has on the table.
