Aston Villa snatched all three points in dramatic fashion yesterday, handing Arsenal a painful 2–1 defeat at Villa Park. Matty Cash opened the scoring for the hosts, and although Leandro Trossard dragged Arsenal level early in the second half, the Gunners never quite looked settled. Just when the match seemed destined for a draw, Villa struck at the death — Emiliano Buendía firing home a stoppage-time winner that shattered Arsenal’s 18-game unbeaten run.

The late blow not only electrified the home crowd but also tightened the Premier League title race, with Villa claiming their ninth win in ten matches. For Arsenal, the loss serves as a sharp reminder that every moment counts at the top of the table and that even the smallest lapse can rewrite the script in seconds.
