Aston Villa 3-1 Brighton: The departure of Maz Pacheco achieves in her last villa game

On March 23, the villa was under control of a relegation battle. Arroyo had lost her first six games as head coach and only solved her team one point before the soil Crystal Palace and a tense finish of the season.

But on Saturday there was nothing but cheers at the last pipe. Not only because they had saved their WSL status through the skin of their teeth, but they had shown potential for a better future.

They ended the season as the form of the form in the WSL and won their last five games to climb into the top half and the decreasing quartet Rachel Corsie, Jordan Nobbs, Danielle Turner and Pacheco to remind you.

It took time for Villa to click under Arroyo, but since the changeover to a 3-1-1-2 formation against Liverpool for the first victory of her series war, a turnaround in her wealth was quite remarkable.

Villa uses the pace of salmon in the two front two, with Daly either playing next to her or directly behind it, and is an important threat to the attack in the last five games, and the couple has nine hit participation.

Grant was just as impressive on the right wing and has three goals and two own templates – including one against Brighton – while it also supported turns from Nobbs, Robinson, Missy Bo Kearns and Kirsty Hanson.

In total, the villa has scored 16 goals in the last five games – as many as they had done in the last 17.

There is still a lot to work – you have admitted eight goals in this run when you adapt to Arroyos preferred high -defensive line – and the question arises as to who replaces Pacheco.

As a Wing-Rack, it was an integral part of the new formation and was a complete annoyance against Brighton on the left wing, but the latest results should be renewed Villa on the next season.
