Group 2 as Arsenal bid received a blow to the villa, which needed only one goal to beat Arsenal and pass them in the standings of the Premier League U21 in the process.
The Gunners looked solid in the first half and had the best chance, under the direction of Serge Gnabry that in his appearance had excellent air on the side of youth. The official Twitter account of the association, the French created a number of chances and came close to scoring:

However, the score was a problem for the young Gunners in recent weeks and Monday game not proved otherwise. Aston Villa has progressed to more confidence than the first half, and we even had a handful of solid opportunities to take the lead.
Rory particularly Hale was very dangerous for the hosts, and put the Arsenal defense after the break pressure. But it was Jerell Sellars, who opened the scoring in the 62nd minute, much to the official Twitter account Club Joy:

The closed Villains things on the defensive after the goal and Arsenal struggled to create chances, but did well to keep possession. Choosing a patient approach, the attack was mainly Gnabry and Dan Crowley, but Villa fought to cope with his pace.
Final pressure amounted to nothing, stand comfortably at the top as Villa. The victory sees upswing in second place in qualifying Group 2, but have two games more played than Arsenal.

Moreover Wolves B Mason gave the lead after 32 minutes with a powerful header, but again the hosts were unable to defend the lead. Owain Jones Swans a deserved compensation in the second half, and the visitors came to victory closer, but could not convert their chances.
