Aston Villa edged Arsenal 2–1 in a tense Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon, securing victory with a stoppage-time strike at Villa Park. Matty Cash opened the scoring in the 36th minute, giving Villa a first-half lead despite Arsenal’s growing pressure.
The second half burst into life immediately, with Arsenal making double substitutions at the break and Leandro Trossard quickly making an impact. Viktor Gyökeres equalised in the 46th minute, assisted by Mikel Merino, before Trossard himself found the net six minutes later to put Arsenal ahead. Villa responded through Donyell Malen in the 66th minute, after coming on for Ollie Watkins, pulling the score level at 1–1 heading into a frantic final stretch.
After a flurry of substitutions on both sides, Emiliano Buendia delivered the decisive blow deep into stoppage time, scoring in the 90+5 minute from a pass by Boubacar Kamara to seal a dramatic 2–1 win for Aston Villa. With Arsenal dominating for large spells yet failing to finish the job, could this be the setback that shifts momentum in the title race? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news stories.
