Villa muscle into title race and leave Arsenal flailing
The Independent
|December 07, 2025
Emi Buendia scored with the last kick of the game as Aston Villa blew the Premier League title race wide open with a dramatic 2-1 victory over leaders Arsenal.
Buendia scored in the fifth minute of time added on to end the Gunners' 11-game unbeaten run in the league and cut the gap between them and the visitors to just three points at the summit.
It was a thoroughly deserved victory for Unai Emery's side, who have now won nine of their last 10 Premier League games and have firmly entered the title race.
They had looked like being denied as Leandro Trossard's early second-half goal cancelled out Matty Cash's first-half fizzer, and the Gunners were holding firm.
But Buendia's strike at the death won it and delivered a potentially damaging blow to a club who have a nervous disposition when it comes to sticking it out in title races.

Slot triumphs in huge test as Reds' team spirit shines
A penalty to win it at San Siro. Perhaps Mohamed Salah, wherever he was watching it, reflected that he could have been taking it. Instead, with the Egyptian in exile, it was despatched brilliantly by Dominik Szoboszlai, who first took his spot on the right wing and now his role as the spot-kick specialist.
