A Huge Comeback from Arsenal in Emirates Stadium.

While others are mourning for Barcelona and laughing for Manchester United losing, I'd like to highlight the marvelous comeback of Arsenal. Though I can say its not much impressive because the comeback was against an 18th placed club and the venue is in Emirates Stadium, in front of their fans. I was just monitoring the scoreline which made me impressed.

In fact, Arsenal was down to 10 men on the 41st minute when Maitland-Niles committed a Red Card with 1-nil trailing from John McGinn on the 20th minute. Thanks to Nicolas Pepe's penalty on the 59th minute, the scoreline was equalized.

Another goal was added on 60th minute from Wesley Moraes, making Aston Villa take the lead again. The Emirates Stadium was full of disappointment being down 10-nil from an 18th tier club. It was also difficult for them to recover because they're down to 10 men facing the healthy Aston Villa.

Then the comeback started. A late surge of goals on the 81st and 84th minute courtesy of Callum Chambers and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. This put the Emirates stadium on roar again, waiting until the final minutes of the injury time before celebrating the win.

Still, fans were not that impressed by the comeback. They should've won it better. They have the right players playing which made the fans in doubt of Unai Emery's position as Arsenal coach. There were a lot of impressions from fans that Unai is not the right person to lead Arsenal into glory.

This game highlighted what has become super obvious recently. How important Aubameyang is. Scored in each game other than the Liverpool defeat. Scored the winner against Newcastle, Burnley, and now Villa. Both against Watford. It's scary to think where they'd be without him because their defense is a mess.
