Tammy Abraham: Aston Villa 'not too far' from Arsenal in title race
Tammy Abraham's 88th-minute equaliser earned Aston Villa a 1-1 draw with Leeds United, leaving the Villans seven points behind the leaders as the top two prepared to return to action later in the weekend. Villa's earlier consistency has faltered in recent weeks, with only two victories in their last seven matches, but they still sit seven points off the pace with 11 matches to play.
Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Wolves and Manchester City's standing as the main challengers have kept the title race open; Villa are also just two points shy of City. Abraham, who scored his second goal in five matches and his first in the Premier League since rejoining Villa in January, said the team must "keep pushing" and "keep believing in ourselves," adding: "Who knows what can happen?
We are not too far from Arsenal." He also spoke about combining with Ollie Watkins and said he was happy to be back home. Unai Emery called the point "good," saying the match was very difficult and underlining the consistency the team must maintain.
