The Premier League title race was reignited by the defeat of league leaders Arsenal, only their second this season, on Saturday at Aston Villa (2-1) after a thrilling and undecided top-of-the-table clash that went down to the wire.

Emiliano Buendia scored the winning goal in the last action (90+4) of the match played at Villa Park.

The Argentinian allows the Birmingham club (2nd, 30 pts) to come within three points of the Gunners (33 pts).

Manchester City (3rd, 28 pts) can move within two points of the leader if they win against Sunderland on Saturday afternoon.

Arsenal had only lost once this season, more than three months ago in Liverpool, and had since gone 18 matches unbeaten (3 draws and 15 wins), in all competitions.

The Gunners' machine is slowing down as they have picked up 8 points out of a possible 15 in their last five league matches.

Conversely, Aston Villa is operating at full capacity.

This makes nine wins in their last ten league matches for Unai Emery's team, their thirteenth in fifteen matches across all competitions.

The Spanish coach won the battle against his former club after a high-intensity summit, rich in technical quality and tactical science, played at a high pace with numerous scoring opportunities.

Deprived of three central defenders (Gabriel, Saliba, Mosquera), Arsenal were attacked like rarely this season and David Raya had to be busy in front of Ollie Watkins (10th, 65th) in particular.

The goalkeeper conceded a cross that Cash powerfully met at the far post and went between his legs (1-0, 36th minute).

His counterpart Emiliano Martinez also had a lot of work to do, especially because of Bukayo Saka, who was involved in all the good moves: a good shot (14th), a cross that was met by Ben White (42nd) and another that Trossard, who came on at half-time, came to intercept to equalize (1-1, 52nd).

Raya conceded in the final seconds of the match to a shot from substitute Buendia, following a chaotic sequence in which Arsenal's defense repeatedly blocked the ball, to no avail.
