EPL: Aston Villa stun Arsenal 2-1, Manchester City thrash Sunderland

New Delhi: Aston Villa ended Premier League toppers Arsenal's long unbeaten run as Emiliano Buendia netted a last-minute goal to secure a 2-1 victory that put his club right in the race for the Premier League title at Villa Park on Saturday.

At one point, it looked like Leandro Trossard's equaliser would help the Gunners to extend their 19-game unbeaten run in all competitions, but the match was decided with a sensational finish from Buendia.

Matty Cash scored the opening goal for the hosts, driving a low shot past David Raya to give Villa the lead in the 39th minute. Arsenal responded just seven minutes after the break with Trossard netting an equaliser from close range after Aston Villa keeper Emiliano Martinez deflected a ball into his path.

After Arsenal's equaliser, both teams played attacking football and looked unwilling to settle for a point. But the hosts secured the victory as Buendia netted the winner in added time after Arsenal players failed to clear the ball. Villa moved into second position, three points behind Arsenal, who suffered only their second league loss of the season.

Bournemouth and Chelsea played to a 0-0 draw at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday. Both sides lacked the quality in the opposition box to score the winning goal.

Manchester City hammered Sunderland 3-0 as Ruben Dias (31), Gvardiol (35), and Foden (65) scored goals. With this win, Man City are just two points behind league leaders Arsenal.

Newcastle United defeated 10-man Burnley 2-1 at St. James Park. Bruno Guimaraes netted the opening goal in the 31st minute directly from the corner, and Anthony Gordon also converted a penalty before the break to give the hosts a 2-0 lead. Flemming scored a late goal for the visitors, but the Magpies secured three points at home.

Richarlison and Xavi Simons scored goals for Tottenham Hotspur as Thomas Frank beat his former club, Brentford 2-0 at home. Everton also thrashed Nottingham Forest 3-0 on Saturday.
