Aston Villa jokingly sent a message to a phone number shared by popstar Dua Lipa, stating their impeccable record at home after the league win against Arsenal.
Coming on the back of a sensational 1-0 win against Manchester City in the Premier League, they beat the Gunners by the same scoreline on Saturday (9 December). John McGinn’s seventh-minute strike proved to be the difference at Villa Park.
The result took Villa to 15 home wins in a row in the Premier League, a fact they were happy to share with Dua Lipa online. Recently, the Anglo-Albanian singer asked fans to text her after sharing what seemed to be her own phone number.
The artist tweeted:
“Text me… 💋 +1 (917) 810-3415”
The community notes under the popstar’s tweet, however, clarified that it wasn’t her personal phone number but a marketing strategy. According to USAToday, it was a promotional post for a social media platform called ‘Community’.
Aston Villa nevertheless joined in on the action and sent a text on the number, which read:
“We’ve won FIFTEEN STRAIGHT Premier League matches at Villa Park”
Villa may not have received a reply from Dua Lipa but the tweet became a magnet for reactions from football fans.
Interestingly, Dua Lipa was spotted at the Emirates sporting Arsenal colors earlier this year. She saw the Gunners beat Leeds United 4-1 in north London on 1 April on their way to finishing second in the league.
Villa, meanwhile, are on an impressive winning streak at home in the Premier League, where they haven’t dropped points since April 2023.
