BIRMINGHAM: Dean Smith urged Aston Villa to finish the job after they climbed out of the Premier League relegation zone as Trezeguet clinched a priceless 1-0 win against Arsenal on Tuesday.
Villa are now fourth bottom and have moved ahead of third-bottom Watford on goal difference, with Smith’s men on -26 compared to the Hornets’ -27. “We have taken the season to the last day. Watford can go and win at Arsenal so we have to make sure we win at West Ham.” For all the positive signs since Arteta took charge in December, Arsenal will suffer their worst Premier League finish since 1995.“I know where we are in certain areas and where we need to improve. We will get that.”A plane trailing a banner reading “Back Arteta Kroenke Out” was flown over Villa Park during the match, but Arteta pleaded with Arsenal fans to trust he has the support of the US-based owner.
