A rundown of the best reactions on social media from Arsenal’s unexpected defeat against Aston Villa.
After defeating Manchester City and Liverpool in the past week, the Gunners somehow suffered defeat against the relegation-threatened side.
A 27th-minute strike from Aston Villa forward Trezeguet was enough to see Dean Smith’s side over the line against in-form Arsenal at Villa Park.In the relegation scrap, Villa knew nothing but three points would keep them in contention to secure their EPL status. To their credit, the organisation, focus and resilience throughout the game was commendable, as they went on to beat the North Londoners at home for the first time since 1998.

If anyone could follow up consecutive wins against Liverpool & Manchester City with a loss against Aston Villa it would undoubtedly be Arsenal.

Bloody hell, Villa. Survival Sunday it is then. Dean Smith and the players have had their fair share of criticism this season but they all got it absolutely spot on here – never panicked and resisted the temptation to go gung-ho. Still all to play for #avfc
