EPL: Buendia scores late goal as Aston Villa stun Arsenal

Aston Villa snatched a dramatic 2–1 victory over Arsenal after Emiliano Buendia struck a sensational 94th-minute winner to seal all three points in a thrilling Premier League clash on Saturday.

Villa had taken the lead earlier in the match through Matty Cash, whose well-placed finish put the hosts ahead.

Arsenal responded strongly, with Leandro Trossard finding the equaliser to bring the Gunners back into the contest.

Just when it seemed the match would end in a draw, Buendia produced a stunning late moment of brilliance deep into stoppage time, sending Villa Park into wild celebration and handing Unai Emery’s side a crucial win.

The result dents Arsenal’s momentum while boosting Villa’s push for a higher spot on the Premier League table.

Aston Villa have won nine of their last 10 Premier League games. It’s the first time they’ve had as many as nine wins in a 10-game spell in the top-flight since December 1919.

Arsenal had nine shots on target, their most in a Premier League away game since April 2024 (nine vs Wolves), and their most on record (since 2003/04) at Villa Park.
