A DRAMATIC VICTORY! | Arsenal 3-2 Aston Villa | Goals & highlights
We twice came from behind to earn a memorable win at the Emirates, despite playing most of the game with 10 men.
It was a result that looked unlikely when our sluggish start culminated in the visitors taking the lead. John McGinn left his markers flat-footed, and turned in Anwar El Ghazi's cross from close range.
It was a sloppy goal to concede, and our task got even harder when Ainsley Maitland-Niles was dismissed for a second bookable offence shortly before half-time. Referee Jon Moss insisted he caught Neil Taylor with his follow through after making the tackle.
Bukayo Saka was taken off at the break to allow Unai Emery to bring on Calum Chambers at the back. Eighteen-year-old Saka had followed up his man-of-the match display in the Europa League on Thursday with another performance of promise on his first Premier League start, setting up a great chance for Maitland-Niles after just two minutes.
Despite our numerical disadvantage we started the second half strongly, and found an equaliser after Matteo Guendouzi was brought down in the box. Nicolas Pepe stepped up to smash home his first Arsenal goal from 12 yards, but his joy was short-lived.
Barely a minute later Villa re-established their lead, Wesley squeezed home his shot at the near post from a Jack Grealish cross.
The visitors were then forced back, attempting to soak up the pressure as we piled forward.
Roared on by the Emirates crowd we drew level through Chambers - the defender coming up with a superb, improvised finish inside the box.
It was game on, and Aubameyang raised the roof when he thumped home his free-kick from just outside the area, after he himself was brought down.
It had been far from plain-sailing, but the three points were assured, moving us into the top four.

ABOUT ARSENAL FC
Arsenal Football Club were formed in 1886. They have amassed 13 League titles, 13 FA Cups and many other major trophies since then. Their greatest players include: Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Adams, Ian Wright, Robert Pires, Liam Brady, Patrick Vieira, Cliff Bastin and Charlie George.
Guendouzi looking like Luiz and passing like Ozil. MY GUY!!!
2 in 1 😂😂
Don't compare Guendouzi to a player, different type of player. He can dribble as a CM, spread well, create from the back, run the fast break, lacks scoring and heading the ball but he is at his best when he is physical. When he is not he tends to be too passive. Great talent, long term best CM for Arsenal for years to come. Hopefully, Saliba comes in next season and provide the same spark Guendouzi has provided for us and the 1-year loan for Saliba proves a worth investment for a final product than a project. Still waiting on his return from injury.
Haha
if david luiz play CDM he can pass like Ozil too. Too bad he went back to CB for some reason. It was beautiful to watch.... when he was at Chelsea
Javier Landaverde calm down
Arsenal is going to kill me one day.
Arsenal has been killing me softly since that 2006 UCL final.
Watching this team is so hard. It's nerve wracking
@@laminh299 that defeat still haunts me
I say that so often it doesn't even feel like a joke anymore, but a prediction.
It's goonercoaster bro
Guendozi played that second half like the Pogba at juve
Miguel Merari And to think he’s only like 20
BIG FACTS
Plumo plumo pogba hasn’t shown his class at Man U at all
Maqtal Samatar Salah yes he has
@@maqtalsamatarsalah9699 man u has no class :(
Watching this defence in July 2022 gives me shivers. We have come a long way. We have suffered enough.
nów on top!!
It's bonkers watching this team; you just see so much, in hindsight, that wasn't right with it.
It’s gotten even better😍
Watching this team from March 2023....hahah we really have come a long way
It’s July 2023. It looks even more ridiculous now
Arsenal Attack : World Class Arsenal Defence: Sunday League
True that
Even our offense hasn't been so good after Laca went down
Still better than Man utd attack : sunday league Man utd defence : N/A
Bonny Bonny please don’t disrespect Sunday league teams. 😅
Attack: Ferrari Defence: Datsun Cherry
Tierney and Bellerin.. Please be back soon we need you guys so much
Holding as well
ㅇ 니네가 맞아 이색휘들아 토트넘 뒤지고 리밥풀 죽어 맹구는 어디야 첼시는 누구지 시티는 레스터시티지
Tierney and Bellerin played for the Under 23's a few days ago
I am a dutch football fan and watch alot of matches but bellerun has been out for a long time right? How long left
@@macman975 oh didnt read ur comment
"Arsenal's defense caught napping" - How many times are we gonna say that this season? Tierney, Bellerin and Holding in ASAP please.
Chambers until Saliba next season
@Ben Horsell Leno is the future though, hopefully he can become more vocal on time.
Asap?
First we need to take out Xhaka from starting line up, he's slow, one footed, and also make a lot of mistakes. Our defense has no shield if Xhaka play
Bernhard Sonn I don’t know if you mean this but ASAP means as soon as possible (I could be misreading what you meant)
How many likes for Guendouzi's performance 🔥
Luiz is a burden.. Get him out
Guendouzi now is complete opposite
He cost us that first goal. That was his man that blew past everyone.
@@nyphron3109 He has gotten way arrogant and overconfident. Hopefully Arteta will bring him back on track.
I will drop Ozil and play Guendouzi at number 10 let see what will happen.
Dont forgot about that Auba sacrifice his Golden Boot to give Pepe his Penalty so that Nico can gains his confidence. Real Teammate and Legend The only one Aubameyang🐐
This team gives me heart attack!!! What a comeback❤️❤️❤️ Proud of our boys!!!🔥🔥🔥
There were people calling for Arteta’s head for not finishing top 4 with this squad 🤣 jesus the PTSD is real
Why is this in my recommended after we lost 3-0?
3-1 may I say
4 months later and still 3-0, just a different team
Who's here to watch Guendouzi when he was in form?
Now hes ballin for hertha
Honestly I didn’t like him in the first place, just because he runs around like a headless chicken, doesn’t make him a good player
fik
@@brentfordfan8776 fik
Never been out of his form
Thing is, papa and luiz is good but they are old... They're slow. Either partner one of them with Chambers or Holding... Or just use Chambers and Holding as our duo CB with tierney and bellerin as full backs.
SHANE do you think emery will bench luiz off?
@@zarakiahmad1919 YOU TALK THE TRUTH
use luiz as a holding midfielder instead of xhaka , holding and sokratis in the back , even tho sokratis is bad this season
That will be our defence very soon i am sure ...
Tierny Bellerin Holding and Chambers
This game was a prefect example of our team: amazing at the front, poor at the back. I'm excited that Bellerin, Tierney and Holding are coming back, they are much needed. Great passion from the squad, seeing them celebrate like they did after the match was brilliant to watch, it's clear they have pride for the club. I wish that pride was there for all the matches otherwise we might have seen better results. 4th place, Nottingham Forest soon and poor form Manchester Utd on the weekend... I can't wait. Come on you gunners!!!
Jeez thats a long message
@@rmbg3321 😂😂😂 yeah
No matter how poor Manu's form is, they always turn into freaking Barcelona every time they play against us. I swear even Ashley Young turns into Cafu against us. Kinda worried !!
@@toshisteven fair point, especially when we go to Old Trafford. I just hope that our momentum from this game and their upset of last game means that they might be more enervated than us and we can pip a win away. Hopes are high but I think there's no better time to come against them 👍
@@martingriffiths_ is Tierney better then Kolasinac? Or will Tierney play cb? Because Kolasinac is really good in attacking like Jordi alba so someone better then him would be perfect
First Half 11vs11 Second Half 10vs11 First Half < Second Half This is Arsenal's magic.
coz no xhaka on 2nd half
And no maitland-niles
I wish Guendouzi could sort his attitude out, because when you watch this game he was absolutely class and has so much potential.
I love the soul of mathew and auba they really love the shirt they play for. Go on arsrnal and good luck.. Liverpool fan
This made me smile thanks bro
Crazy game
whatisyouname
Auba loves arsenal so much that he went to chelsea
People have completely forgotten about Auba and how things would have been worse for this club without him. Fans wonder why players don't play for the badge anymore.
He does not stay over the team
@@ludovicmf5072 my point is not that Auba is above the team. My point is fans are quick to shun players that have progressed the team in a good direction in the past. Auba is a great player, let's not forget that. AFC fans have zero loyalty and then they ask loyalty from players.
Spurs fan here. A big difference between Aubameyang and Kane is that Kane would never let the new guy take a pen. Gotta respect that sportsmanship from Aubameyang.
We also gotta respect your honesty and sportmanship.
Guendouzi better than xhaka
How this has aged 😂
@@chiemekaohajionu7068 lol 😂😂
My favourite Arsenal game. One of the best from the last 3 years. I've watched this game atleast 15 times. It never gets old. Never
yessirr
Guendozi's passing, damnn that guy have improved a lot :)
still not enough, should win comfortably at home against promotion team
villa did the same to spurs who are a much better team than the arsenal villa just cant seem to keep it going for 90 min
10men vs 11 bro
Niles red card
i just want explain team performances in bigger picture, doesnt mean discredit the team effort and reaction in 2nd half
@@poola169 Spurs not better than us tho
I've been watching the highlights of our team over last season. And Guendouzi is such a good player, he is too good to just let him slip out of our hands. But on his part he needs to fix his attitude, but at the same time his attitude makes him the player that he is!
Can't get enough of seeing that freekick Even when he runs off to celebrate Brings back memories of Henry
jjohnjJP clearly the most underrated player in the world
Emery's tactics are basically hoping Aubameyang bails him out because he doesn't know what to do.
To be an Arsenal fan these days, emotional rollercoaster! Gj lads
😂
Guendouzi plays with such passion. I love it.
Guendouzi is making pogba nervous
@@sarondemitse3202 well that aged well
Guendouzi, what a baller. This lad will be a superstar!
Unlucky mate
What a great comeback it's Amazing. Plz bellerin be back soon we need you so much.
Guendouz is such a terrific midfielder, well played boy. His age and what he does on the pitch are making me embarrassed, what a player Arsenal has. His agility on the ball was absolutely and magical. I love this young French man.
Wow, forgot just how good Guendouzi can be! Hopefully his attitude gets straightened out in Germany and gets a fair shake back under Arteta.
Dont play xhaka again Guendouzi the future captain of arsnal
sell xhaka in jan pls
jail xhaka pls
SZARsenal.
Great performancee..I LOVEEE ARSENAL
I repeat this video about 10 times bcuz i love to see gunners celebrate with fans
3:27 look at the guy who almost falls out 😂😂 The steward's have to hold him
3:24 look at matteo guendouzi he's not happy our defence 😒
Tell him to chill it, he didn't track the runner for the first goal.
This is why guendozi was so important..he played a part in all arsenal goals ..
In one game
Whos here when arsenal are playing Aston Villa today
The last time we came from behind and won while a man down was during the days of the invincibles.we never cared how many goals we were down we always recovered and had the winning mentality
Arsenal fans a deluded! If AMN makes a mistake and gets sent off it’s “sell AMN!!” mistakes happen, and you need to understand he’s being played out of position and isn’t complaining! On another note Guendouzi is looking an absolute star! COYG 🔴⚪️ Forest today! Let’s goooooooooooooo
Arsenal fans are the worst I can tell as long-time supporter)) Mustafi, Niles are best by devensive stats last seasons and only blind man can say out to them the most problem that we don't have a defensive midfielder who can bring ball to attack from defense and not otherwise and orchestrate defense also.
@@ilearntohate stats can be incredibly misleading. Mustafi almost singlehandedly cost us a champions league place in that game against palace and many other games. Maitland niles has been sent off more than any other player in 2019. He should have taken his chance to be a rb as he will never get into the team as a midfielder. Time to clear out the deadwood
@@ThomasJ502 lol not reserve squad from Emery with Mavro, Jenkinson, Elneny, but Mustafi?) Well, I bet even if Emery played U17 squad you still call Mustafi the worst)
@@ilearntohate how many times did those guys play? Did jenkinson even play in the pl last year? Did elneny? Mavropanos didnt cost any goals through errors if I recall. Xhaka and mustafi cost arsenal too many points last season...
@@ThomasJ502 The point is they didn't and Emery played them in the crucial game with CP which was must win (lol Mavro - Jenkinson defence!). And you blame Mustafi for losing it. Also consider that Xhaka is one of the main reasons Mustafi is so lame lately. Mustafi is good mainly but he can't handle pressure... And our defence has no support from midfielders. It's not about Mustafi only you see that this season we got consede even more without Mustafi. We consede cause Emery don't know how to defend. He didn't when he lost 1-6 in CL and he has no clue what to do now. And the most point he doesn't see is that without support from midfield we will consede more. He can play Torreira above defence (not box-to-box as now) and kick Xhaka out of the team and we will get the result but he has no clue.
From Sokratis,David Luiz,Mustafi to Gabriel,Benjamin White & d waiting Saliba,Arsenal have come a long way so far
Matteo Gendouzi was sold and replaced by Sambi Lokonga. The joke of the century 😅😅😅😅
Eagerly awaiting to see Tierney, Bellerin and Holding in action tonight + The return of Jenko❤️❤️❤️ Let’s give him a proper ovation guys!!!
Jenko is Injured so I think not.
Jenko plays for Forest now....
Bruh Aubameyang keeps bailing us out Imagine where we would be without Auba and Laca
Relegation maybe.....
That's the reason arsenal bought him. So that they don't have to rely on defenders to score.
Guendouzi Passion is pure gold 💪🏻🙏🏼
Well done Mattel Guendouzi! Continue to play with passion and drive! Just be mindful to pick up and engage runners in defensive positions...I've even added you to one of my fpl teams....so watch up those goals and assists! Unlucky Saka, but keep doing what you're doing! Be direct, be fearless, take on players when you must....I look forward to seeing more of you in the prem. Aubameyang, this side depends on you and Laca.... Everyone needs to track back and defend and stop conceding simple easy goals.
Guendouzi for captain!
Siddhant Mohapatra to early mate maybe in a few years
Guen? Holding for captain. Can follow in the footsteps of Adam and Campbell.
Yes I'am agree, but someday, not now. Too early for him to get that responsibility. Rob Holding maybe?
This comment aged like milk *It no age well*
Ozil should start....Arsenal's CAM wasn't up to the mark against Aston...
Third Class Element who? Remind me
@@myview2543 Dani Ceballos
@Third Class Element Dani was not that bad
@@tendanemukula2630 not that great also... I'm talking about experience...not skills
French players in Arsenal Squad rock!!!! 😍
Start Torriera pls!
but in his natural DM position....He made an important interception from a rebound in our penalty area....Stop playing him so far forward!
arsenal
fik
Team- Aubameyang, Lacazette, Pepe Guendouzi, Ozil(c), Ceballos Holding, Bellerin, Luiz, Tierney Leno/Martinez (After all of them are fit)
Change Luiz with chambers...more solid at the back four
If Ozil is playing, Torreira needs to be in the squad.
And who in the mid will do the defensive work?
@@suriyanisumo5819 I beleive there should be atleast 1 experienced defender in team, Chambers is good though👍
@@rshk3514 about experience...we can believe on bellerin and chambers....even they still young but bellerin got a massive exp in first team and chambers was player of the season with Fulham even just a loan player
"Oh my goodness.." 5:38 Literally every Arsenal fan whenever Arsenal have to defend
I just realized number 22 on Aston Villa lost them the game. He gave up the PK at the beginning which is when they tied and he also gave up the free kick where Auba scored
I love you Arsenal From Việt Nam 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
1:40 you say it shock.. its not shock for me.. damn 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂Bo9oom🤣🤣🤣
Just keep watching from 3:27 in the stands 😂
Guendouzi was masterclass in the match
Great come back arsenal... Keep up the fighting spirit
Unai emery needs to find his midfield he keeps changing it and I think when we get tierney and bellerin back our defence would be a bit stronger.
Other channels upload highlights after 6 hours Our channel uploads after 2 days Good.
That's why they no get subscribers
I can't stop watching this highlights
What a game !! what a freekick !!
If someone did what Sokratis did with 1 minute left, and we did not get a penalty, let’s be honest- we will be fuming.
The commentary says oh yeah on the 5:23
Guendozi should have been given the chance to fight. He was so underrated in an Arsenal shirt trust!
You are right if he plays in 2024 with Arsenal, but there is no place other than Havertz’s place, So we hope that Guendouz will return and play in her place, but in principle he is better than
Love this commentator. Great arsenal fan
Matteo Guendouzi is the team player-maker. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang is the team Hope. Support Arsenal 👍🤝. But Arsenal defend need to improve.😢😭
and LACCA the truth
Squeeze space when out of possession and stretch space when in possession . Arsenal defensive problem comes from opening the pitch wide with our defenders and defensive mids , giving space to the opponent to shoot and move through us . Emery isn't the right man because he can barely understand formation and lineup , expecting tactics is a stretch.
Benjamin you said all that is wrong with the club...
Ow arsenal my heart ❤❤ What a comback 😮😮😮👌👌👌👑👑👑
Guendouzi is magic in that 3/4
sokratis is slowly turning into a mustafi work harder papa !!
Magic. Mac Facts
He is the duplicate of Mustafi,
Still bad defend...respect auba
Guendouzi the best midfielder in the history
It was never ever my come back yet because I’ve humanly done more comebacks than this sample plus others.I think Reading 5 -7 vs Arsenal same question asked.Arsenal had taught me english language when others totally refused as a concept.
Likes for guendouzi here
I woching from Somalia
Af somali ku hdal
As soon as that free kcikw as conceded and Auba was about to take it they knew it was going to be 3-2 Auba never misses those opportunities
Xhaka is just a total waste. He literally guided the AVL player to go cross the ball for their second goal. Which team was he a captain of?
the permanent captain for arsenal now. good luck
Im ashamed I stopped watching after first half. My heart was weak. ;(
I really miss watching Guendouzi play because he is such a baller but Arteta isn’t treating him well I am dying to see him play again
So sad we let Guendouzi go. All these principles Arteta is showing had better worked out, because if it doesn't; I'll be mad at the players we have lost because of him.
It definitely worked
Please Bench Xhaka please
When arsenal actually tried
After today's game I remembered this game. I hope Arsenal will win EPL this year
Watching this and knowing how they play now, theres a big difference. Im not sure if you see it but I definitely do
Lol now all write "Niles out Bellerin please return", but if you look stats on EPL site Bellerin was always below-par defender. Monreal's defensive stats was x2 all Bellerin defensive stats and by ball loses Bellerin was the second in team. Lol ok now Niles out Mustafi out all players who made most interceptions, headers win and let's cry more that Arsenal has no 'los cojones'.
Pavel Smirnov Monreal massively underrated great player for us. Bellerin will he ever be good enough defensively for us? Even offensively he has to improve. I’d say Chambers should holddown that position til we can buy a top rb especially given bellerin a injury
Bellerin Is defensive crap.
This Match Gave Me 300$ ⚽
Wow. That finish from chambers
When Hector and Rob return from injury i would use Chambers as a defensive midfielder. He has the defensive mentality, the pace and strength that is needed in that position and can pass a ball to more creative players upfront.
Please come back Santi Cazorla!! I hate to Xhaka's play style!
Emery should really try to fix the defence.. Who so positive we gonna get a brilliant result against Man U 🙋🏽♂️
Seeing certain players in our jersey makes me so happy
Arteta arteta arteta, guedouzi is a masterclass....
Emery, this is not the way you improve our team. 1. you should have a clear idea your starting line up 2. we can not continue these experimental tactics every week. 3. please, bring your own philosophy. (we don't know whether we are attacking team or defending team, we are in a dreadful situation every other weekend ). 4. please find 11 line up players and stop risking our hope reaching champions league place next year. 5. learn from your mistakes because time is ruining and find out balancing way of your 11 line up players the only way we can defend is to defend together because our back is not good enough to defend properly.
Just play torreira instead of xhaka boom everything is great
Nooone realized how difficult was for Pepe to take the pen. I mean , he is already called a flop by some salty fans . Imagine if he missed it . His confidence would have been destroyed
Somehow, thank God for Auba! I still say David Luiz is looking younger since he got to Arsenal. I wish someone else could confirm it... I'm busy trying to spill my drink but I don't drink. ^_^
Just goes to show how talented our midfield is. When they have more experience I believe people such as guenduzie and cellabaos (ignore my terrible spelling) will be world class. Amazing attack as well, as soon as Pepe settles in which I believe the penalty may help with he’ll be a great addition to the club. If we use tierney, bellerin, chambers, holding, Leno in defence our team will be great. COYG.
Liverpool beat Chelsea away from home West Ham beat united We beat Aston Villa Leicester beat spurs Man City took revenge and smashed Watford Must be a good week for us 👍
Liverpool beating Chelsea at the bridge should be added
James Hetfield thanks bro
