"So happy. We finished this week really playing like we need to - competing, demanding ourselves, adapting to the opponent and playing with personality. Dominating sometimes and getting in the box, being intense and aggressive when we needed. Villa Park is special; the supporters transmit the energy to us. How they responded is fantastic. We are going to focus game by game. We know our only way is if we are trying to focus on each competition."
"Incredible, the feeling to score that goal and help the team get the win, an important win against the table leaders. Really proud to help the team and score that goal. Very happy."
"At 94:03, Buendia's strike for Villa was the second-latest winning goal scored against Arsenal on record (since 2006-07) in the Premier League after Neal Maupay's winner for Brighton in June 2020 (94:26)."
Aston Villa moved within three points of leaders Arsenal after Emiliano Buendia scored a 95th-minute winner at Villa Park. Villa have won nine of their last ten Premier League games, their best 10-game return in the top flight since December 1919. Under Unai Emery, Villa are unbeaten in three Premier League home games against teams starting the day top of the table (W2 D1), with both home victories coming against Arsenal. Emery praised the team's intensity and the supporters' energy and said the Premier League is the club's first priority while also aiming to perform in the Europa League. Buendia described the goal as an incredible feeling and expressed pride and happiness at securing an important win.
