A point that feels more like 3.

Great 2nd half.

Kai Havertz is fucking cheat. If he’s not holding his face or diving or handling the ball it’s always something.

I really didn’t think we were that far off in the first half but brilliant comeback in the second. Youri was brilliant, great finish from Ollie and special nod for Bogarde; last time he played midfield was for Bristol Rovers.

 Shout out for Bogarde as well, solid when he came on.

I turned it off to go and have dinner when their second went in, so I'm taking credit for that comeback.

Unfortunately, I'm going to Monaco so won't be able to repeat the trick on Tuesday.

Anyway, well done the lads. Almost feels like a win, that.

Superb comeback. Defensively we still struggle but you cannot say this team don’t have the balls to fight. Proud of them tonight.

A mature performance i thought. No panic when two down,kept our shape well,and had them scared even at 2-2. Too many motms but I'm bigging up Bogarde. Superb stint.

Agree 100% - did a good job.  Nothing flashy, just solid.

I would have taken a point before the game.

Take that result , and didn't see it coming to be honest 2 nil down. Well done lads . Special mention for that twat referee, who gave Arsenal every marginal free kick and Villa nothing . Oh yes and Arteta enjoy not winning another trophy son.

More than solid, his pass to pick out Digne who assisted the first was very good indeed.  Didn’t look overawed, and he clearly has Unai’s trust.

Unlucky his shot in the second half didn’t squeak under Raya, it was close.

Bogarde was good - kept it simple, knew his job. Impressed.

The absolute sweetest moment in that game, even more than the villa goals, was that miss by goggle eyes in the last minute.  I’m afraid to say I said a very bad swear word in front of my children when that went wide.

I missed the first half! What injury did Onana go off with? He does seem to get injured a lot. Second half we showed great character.

Thought it was all over at two nil, we were not anywhere near our best but battled gallantly.
Right call to take Matson off we looked far stronger. Bogarde did well and is one to watch.
