# Arsenal Women Stage Thrilling Comeback to Defeat Aston Villa
Arsenal Women staged a thrilling comeback against Aston Villa Women on Sunday, scoring two injury-time goals to secure a dramatic 2-1 victory at the Emirates.
The Gunners had been trailing 1-0 for much of the match, but a late surge saw them snatch the win in the dying moments of the game.
It was a hard-fought victory for Arsenal, who had to battle against a resilient Villa side that had taken the lead in the first half. But the Gunners dug deep and eventually found a way to break through the visitors’ defence.
The first goal came from Beth Mead, who fired home from close range after a well-worked move. The second was scored by Vivianne Miedema, who finished off a swift counter-attack with a clinical finish.
The win was a welcome boost for Arsenal, who have been struggling for form in recent weeks. It was also a morale-boosting result for manager Joe Montemurro, who has been under pressure following a string of poor results.
The victory will give Arsenal confidence going into their next match against Manchester City Women on Saturday.
For those who missed the match, highlights will be available to watch on The Women’s Football Show on Monday 16 October at 00:25 BST. The show will also feature interviews with players and coaches, as well as analysis of the key moments from the match.
