Carl Jenkinson believes Aston Villa victory gave Arsenal confidence boost – Football News
British youngster, Carl Jenkinson, thinks that conquering Aston Villa last weekend gave his team members a big boost ahead of the clash against their arch rivals, Tottenham Hotspurs at the Barclays English Premier League.
With the help of Santi Cazorla’s 85th minute winner, Arsenal were able to outclass the Villans with a 2-1 victory at their home ground.
The Arsenal defender, Jenkinson, was quoted in an interview to the Arsenal Player about this victory:
“We haven’t had the rub of the green of late, and when we went to 80 minutes at 1-1 I did fear we wouldn’t get that goal. The way we were playing and the [number of] chances we created, it would have been criminal if we didn’t win the game but football doesn’t always go the way it should. But we got the goal we deserved and I am delighted with it.”
The Red Army is performing well in the league and are in the fifth position, few points behind fourth placed Spurs. However, they crashed out from the FA Cup against Blackburn Rovers at their home ground. Adding further to their misery, Arsenal suffered a 1-3 loss against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League clash earlier this month. Jenkinson reflected,
“In the league our form has been good, but other results haven’t been what we wanted. Sometimes that happens in football and we had to react.”
The Arsenal youngster, who was one of the six member of the Arsenal squad from UK who committed their future to Arsenal by extending contract, commented about the upcoming North London Derby this coming weekend.
“We are going into a huge game next Sunday and it is nice to get a good result going into that.”
