That is a fucking superb result. Arguably the hardest we have left. We really need to now batter Spurs and Man U.
Can't believe we managed to hang on! We can defend after all!
Only let down was the sending off. Ramsey misses next week against Spurs and we don't have many left sided players. I wonder if Maatsen might start further forward like he ended today.
"That last minute chance was massive - a huge save from Emi Martinez, then a brilliant clearance off the line from Matty Cash."That first Semenyo chance had an xG of 0.5. It was by far and away the best chance of the game."But Villa deserved their clean sheet. They limited a normally brilliant Bournemouth side going forwards to just 0.8 xG. It's their second-lowest attacking return of the season."The lowest? The return league game against Villa. Emery has had Iraola's number this season."
That's a total team performance.Backs to the wall stuff at times and a great win despite one of the most abysmal refereeing performances all season.And his reward, - Stuart Twatwell is in charge of the Cup Final next week.Be afraid, very afraid.
