Report: Aston Villa 2-4 Arsenal
Arsenal survived a second-half onslaught from Aston Villa to regain – at least temporarily – the leadership of the Barclays Premier League.
The Gunners looked to be cruising to victory after dominating the opening 45 minutes and netting through Andrey Arshavin and Samir Nasri.
But Villa were transformed in the second period and Ciaran Clark struck twice either side of Marouane Chamakh’s 10th goal of the campaign before Jack Wilshere’s injury-time clincher.
It enabled Arsene Wenger’s side to end an unhappy week on a high note after the derby defeat by Tottenham and the Champions League setback away to Braga.

Good win but defence not good enough in the last quarter of the match. And A23 was fantastic.
At least we r proud. Gunners go on 4eva
Marouane Chamakh ,nasri and aa23 all brillant
defence not so but villa first goal carew was offside blocking fab’s view
Would’nt be a bad idea to get Daniel Agger, he would help that backline.
Sign a 6+ foot world class defender and title is ours
Fab can’t be faulted for the goals but Clichy could…he backed off the AV player and gave him time to control and strike the ball,almost saying ..please have a go,I’ll watch and enjoy!
I can’t understand the referee awarding AV their first goal as Carew was in an offside position blocking Fab’s view and so close to goal that he could do so easily!
However the strikers seem to be regaining their form and I am so pleased for Jack…his first ever EPL goal…you can bet it won’t be his last!
wohoo just wat we needed now chelsea need to lose and we have to beat manure. i think djourou is better then kon wat do you think?
Koscieny Is Better Than Squillaci For me. Squillaci is Short And Really vulnerable In the air. While koscielny is better in the air, An good in grounded battles too.
I;’ Like to see koscielny an Vermaelan Play together.
And Cmon People, Dont we Know Wenger, He’s bought 2 new CBs This Time, He wont get another now.
We Have A Strong Attack, Defence Needs to be free of injuries, An we can beat any team At Any venue.
ARSENAL ALL THE WAY. =)
