Villa Career Form:
Mid Table
What they Said
"Bosnich who had done so well, dropped a right clanger and it got a bit silly after that.
โWe lost concentration right from start of the second half and it was very disappointing.
โWe had come here to be strong and make it hard work for Arsenal but I don't see any need to apologise for that.โ
Brian Little.
Mark Bosnich blundered to send Arsenal on their way to victory at Highbury, handing Paul Merson a tap in goal shortly after the break.
The luckless Villa keeper had performed miracles to keep Arsenal out before the interval but two minutes into the second half, Bosnich failed to hold the wingerโs low cross and Merson was presented with an open goal six yards out.
In the 78th minute, Ian Wright doubled their lead but even then, however, Wrightโs mishit shot went in off the diving Bosnichโs body.
