Quote from the Guardian report on the match:
'Things could have been even worse for the home supporters – most of whom stayed until the bitter end in hope rather than expectation of a comeback ...' !!!
Maybe Ed Aarons also left early.

I think that bringing Bailey on when he did was a game changer. Arsenal went from trying to win the game to trying to stop us. His pace and his dribbling skills were too much for them. Arteta became the latest manager to get schooled by Emery.

Every time I watch this I see something new, look at Digne's celebration, look at Pau's celebration (and Ollie picking him up), look at Rogers who has only been here 5 minutes. What a team.

Thanks! Just watched that ~15 times.

Same, that was fucking lovely.

Following Oli’s comments at the weekend the players have really taken on the responsibility to act like a ‘big club’ and believe in themselves. 

Five years ago we had to do a similar thing when we were 1-0 down with 10 men, at half time, against Rotherham.

We’ve come a long way since then.

Yesterday isn't a day I'm going to forget in a long time. I even managed to miss the first half after a run in with the Feds. That second half was a beautiful reminder of Villa 2023 and the timing couldn't be better. We've had a few recent growing pains but I believe we can finish the season on a high. Every player knows what's required and the lads gave it their professional all. A joy to watch.

Since that fucking second half at Old Trafford our defending has been chaotic. Yesterday went against all that. Its as if we'd had a short break from 2023 but decided to give the relationship another go yesterday.

That result feels pivotal.

Loved Ollie holding off celebrating until he collected the ball for Pau to boot into the crowd.
Learning shithousery from Emi 😂

Agreed. Bournemouth and Chelsea at home next. Win both of those, and Spurs will be looking at a nine point gap and a minimum of a +5 GD to overcome. With their next three games being Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, I don't think they'd be at all confident in making that ground up.

Good chance we can be 9 clear by the time they next play.

When we won 3-0 at this place during the "Ghost Season" i thought it would be hard to top that against these lot.
Yesterday surpassed it given the context and circumstances . Absolutely brilliant .

I was just about to say the same. 2 more wins, 9 points gap possible.
