The English Premier League football battle last Friday night, December 22, “Singha Rising” Aston Villa has a chance to rise to the top of the table if they win, opening their nest to welcome Sheffield United, who have been sinking for a long time, 6 points from the safe zone.
The first half began in the 11th minute. Vinicius Souza, the attacking pair of Blades, retreated to help the defense, pushing into the back of Ollie Watkins, causing him to fall. Referee Anthony Taylor checked VAR. Let the game go without fouls. Before George Baldock’s handball was used once more, but nothing happened, the match proceeded as before.
Six minutes later, Leon Bailey dribbled along the right side of the field. The ball cut off the opponent’s defender. Moussa Diaby inserted and hit the water. Wes Foderingham made a great save to help the visiting team escape.
The rest of the time, the local team moved hard but mightn’t penetrate. After 45 minutes it was tied 0-0.
Entering the second half in the 59th minute, George Baldock tried to drag the ball out of his own penalty area, but Ollie Watkins dipped the ball and stole it to the right. Leon Bailey flicked the ball into the net, but Anthony Taylor decided the VAR check was a foul because the visiting team’s goalkeeper was restrained.
The clock ticked to the 73rd minute. George Baldock made Blades fans wince. He looks like he raised his arm to wipe out the ball in the penalty area. VAR worked once more before deciding it was the chest that touched the ball.
Five minutes later, substitute Gustavo Hamer received the ball from the right and slammed it in front of the penalty area. Olivier Norwood saw the ball from far and Emiliano Martinez pounced on it.
At the end of the game, in the 87th minute, Gustavo Hamer collected the ball on the left in the penalty area, evading John McGinn and slamming it from 7 yards away. Cameron Archer, a former student of the home team, tucked in the goal.
But then at 90+7 injury time, Douglas Luiz drops the ball from the left. Nicolo Zaniolo runs under and hits the ball, flicking it back. At the end of the game, Aston Villa tied Sheffield United 1-1. “Singha Rising” has 39 points, tied with Arsenal, but the goal difference is still second, moving past Liverpool to second place before Tuesday, Dec. 26, the away team.
