Aston Villa's 1-0 victory over Arsenal in the English Premier League brought good news for the Villans, and the reason for this is coach Unai Emery.
This was the 15th consecutive victory for Aston Villa with Unai Emery in their home stadium (Villa Park), a number that had only been achieved 4 previous times in the history of the English Premier League.
And every time a coach achieved a number like this, the English Premier League at the end of the same season was his.
The talk here is about Sir Alex Ferguson with Manchester United, Pep Guardiola with Manchester City, and Jurgen Klopp with Liverpool.
Aston Villa's victory over Arsenal brought it to the 35th point in second place in the Premier League standings, only two points behind the leader, Liverpool.
For his part, Emery refused to talk about competing for the title, and only said in this regard, "I will speak again when we are in match number 30 or 32, and if we are in the same situation, perhaps I can talk about that."
It is noteworthy that Emery took over as coach of Aston Villa in November 2022, succeeding Steven Gerrard, after the Lions’ results declined and they approached the relegation positions. He quickly succeeded in turning the tide, and with him the team reached seventh place last season and qualified for the European Conference League.
