Aston Villa fans name Zaniolo MOTM in win over Arsenal

Nicolo Zaniolo was voted Man of the Match by Aston Villa fans following their thrilling 2-0 win over Premier League hopefuls Arsenal.

Unai Emery’s side put a huge dent in the Gunners’ league title ambitions in their clash at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon, and in turn picked up a huge three points in their fight for Champions League qualification.

Whilst Zaniolo didn’t get on the scoresheet for Aston Villa in their win, he was a key reason why the side secured their win over Arsenal in North London, working hard across his 80 minutes on the pitch before an injury forced him off.

Zaniolo praised

Aston Villa confirmed today that Zaniolo had been voted Man of the Match by the fans for the 2-0 win over Arsenal, picking up 54.8% of the vote, far more than second place Diego Carlos with 24.7% of the share.

The 24-year-old Italian forward has struggled to impress in the Premier League this season but his performance against the Gunners could see a late resurgence in his Villans career.
