[Premier League] Arsenal reversed Villa 3-2 and still scored 1 in the 80th minute

[Premier League] Arsenal reversed Villa 3-2. There was one less player in the game before halftime, and they were still trailing 2-1 until the 80th minute. Just when most people thought that Arsenal would lose the game in disgrace like Tottenham and Manchester United this weekend, they played an unexpected plot. While completing a great comeback, they also secured fourth place in the Premier League.

Lost the ball shortly after the start

Aston Villa deployed a 433 formation today and was not conservative at all from the start. In the 3rd minute, Villa's McGinn threatened the goal with a long shot. In the 10th minute, Leno barely saved McGinn's long shot from 25 meters away. In the 19th minute, Aston Villa player El Ghazi, who was attacking from the left, made a reluctant 45-degree cross, but Arsenal's well-positioned defense collectively short-circuited, allowing the opponent's forward McGinn to step in and shoot in front of the back goal. Just like that, Arsenal fell behind 0-1.

Even after falling behind by one goal, Arsenal failed to come up with any decent offense. On the contrary, Aston Villa's several offenses posed a threat. By the 38th minute, things got worse. Niles tackled his opponent from the wing. Not only was he injured, but he was also shown a yellow card by the referee. Two yellow cards turned into one red and he was sent off the field. In less than half-time, Arsenal had 10 men to fight and fell behind 0-1.

Got a red card and one less person

In the minds of many people, when encountering this situation, Arsenal's next plot is often a collapse, but today's Arsenal is different. Although Aston Villa created several good opportunities at the beginning of the second half, Arsenal was not intimidated and retreated on defense. Instead, they relied on defense to look for counterattack opportunities. In the 57th minute, Guendouzi, who was active in this game, dribbled the ball from the left wing into the penalty area. Although there were defensive players keeping close guard, Guendouzi was like a tank at full power, bringing the ball into the Villa penalty area. The defending defender had no choice but to knock down Guendouzi and was whistled for a penalty kick by the referee. In the end, Pepe scored overnight to help the team equalize the score.

Guendouzi equalized

The aggressive Aston Villa took the lead again just 2 minutes after Arsenal equalized. Grealish drove the ball straight in and passed the ball. Wesley grabbed the point and scored. Arsenal fell behind again! After finally equalizing, they fell behind again. The Arsenal players were not discouraged at all, but were inspired. Greater potential. In the 65th minute, David Luiz threatened Villa's goal with a free kick; in the 68th minute, Guendouzi's wonderful long-range shot from outside hit the Villa goalpost and missed... Arsenal, with one less player and lagging behind, opened up their firepower and rumbled towards Villa's goal.

Falling behind again

The hard work paid off. In the 80th minute, Guendouzi passed a diagonal pass at a 45-degree angle. The Villa players failed to make a clearance. Chambers shot to help the Gunners equalize the score. In the 83rd minute, Arsenal got a free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area. Five Arsenal players inserted into the wall set up by the opponent. In the end, this tactic of destroying the opponent's wall had a miraculous effect. Aubameyang's shot penetrated the wall from the position occupied by his teammates and went straight to the bottom of the net, 3-2!!!
