BPL Game 13: Aston Villa (H)

With Manchester City playing the early game, and losing, this game would see me go second if I win! Gone for a strong team, bearing in mind the tough rigours of midweek European football.

We've seen this line up before, and it does well. Decided to go for Andre Santos as left back, over Kieran Gibbs. Frimpong has been doing well in training so decided to reward him with some game time.

KICK OFF!!

9 seconds: I get a freekick. Wilshere goes down after an early challenge. Knocked wide to Sagna, on to the Ox and crosses in for Giroud to get his head to the ball. Goal. Clocked in at 48 seconds. 1-0

8m: Long ball, gets to Giroud. He passes to Wilshere, who slides in Frimpong who is clear through on goal. Doesn't disappoint and buries it in the bottom left corner. Dench. Leave it. 2-0

29m: Fabian Delph runs across the outside of the box, and then bends a run into the box, and scores. 2-1.

41m: Corner. Drills across to Wilshere, who flicks on to Giroud to score his twelth of the season. 3-1

75m: Substitution. Podolski on for Giroud (condition down to 70%) and Arteta is on for Frimpong.

FT

Brilliant game. Great performances by all the players, and I'm up to second! Bring on the title challenge!
