Aston Villa conceded a draw (1-1) against poorly ranked Sheffield United and missed the opportunity to take the lead in the English Championship on Friday at the opening of the 18th day. The Birmingham club, who emerged victorious in their last fifteen Premier League matches at home, dominated the match but Unai Emery’s players were surprised at the very end of the match by Cameron Archer on the reception of a withdrawn cross (87th).
Nicolo Zaniolo, who entered in the 81st minute, saved Villa’s honor by equalizing with a header at the end of added time (90+7). With this result, Sheffield United (19th, 9 pts) leaves the place of red lantern to Burnley who travels to Fulham on Saturday. Aston Villa, which had the opportunity to take the lead in the standings in the event of a victory, temporarily climbs to second place tied with Arsenal (39 points), which faces Liverpool (3rd by one point) on Saturday at Anfield in the poster explosive of this 18th day.
