Arsenal came from behind on two occasions to beat Aston Villa in the Premier League last week.
Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish has stated on Instagram that it was a ‘pleasure’ playing at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium as he described it as his ‘favourite’ place to play in the Premier League.
Grealish recently played at the Emirates when Villa were beaten by Arsenal 3-2 – Dean Smith’s side had the extra man for large parts of that game, but they still blew their lead on two occasions.
The Villa academy product provided an assist during that game when he made a bursting run down the left-hand side and then found Wesley inside the penalty area to slot home.
Grealish has had previous experience of playing in the Premier League when he was a teenager, and so far during this campaign, he has played at the likes of Selhurst Park, Tottenham’s new stadium, and the Amex Stadium.
This was Grealish’s message about Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, which will no doubt please the Arsenal faithful:
It wouldn’t be a surprise to hear that the Arsenal fans liked what Grealish had posted, as they even talked about potentially signing him up.
Arsenal moved into their new stadium over 10 years ago, and since then, a number of clubs have followed suit in moving into new surroundings to try and benefit their future.
Villa were the first team to play at the Emirates Stadium when the duo recorded a 1-1 draw -Olof Melberg wrote his name into the history books by opening the scoring on that day.
Here is a selection of Arsenal fans reacting to Grealish’s comments:
