Arsenal made made some statistic record on Saturday night as they defeated Aston Villa 4-2 at Villa Park and broke an interesting record which is “Arsenal have won a Premier League game they were losing at half-time outside of London for the first time since December 2009 (2-1 at Liverpool).” as per OptaJoe.
The Gunners had gone four games without a win in all competitions prior to their trip to the Midlands, but Bukayo Saka was the star as Arsenal scored two injury-time goals to beat Aston Villa and end their winless run.
The match started off with Ollie Watkins putting Aston Villa in front after just 12 minutes. The Gunners responded well and equalised through Saka just before half time. However, Philippe Coutinho restored the home side’s lead shortly before the break.
Mikel Arteta’s side refused to give up and equalised for a second time through Oleksandr Zinchenko with 30 minutes left on the clock. The match looked set to end in a draw, but then an Emi Martinez own-goal and one from Gabriel Martinelli handed the Gunners three points at the death.
The victory will come as a huge boost for Mikel Arteta and his team ahead of their next game against Leicester City on Saturday. With this result, Arsenal will be hoping that they can build on this momentum and continue winning to stay on top of the Premier League.
