So I’m guessing rumours of the black strip were off the mark. #AVFC

Great to see Austin back on his feet! Nothing like the healing power of screaming at a football team. #AVFC

Football is a lot harder when you don’t have the Holte End yelling “shoooot” #AVFC

*sigh* #AVFC

Red card check? For what?? Commentator yaps on for the entire game but then shuts up when VAR halts play 🤦🏻‍♂️ #AVFC

We got fkn lucky just then. We totally fell asleep after the first shot was saved. Wake TF up! #AVFC

What kind of 2nd phase defending was that?? #AVFC

I’m expecting a lot from Sancho tonight… #AVFC

That is the second time this game that Matty Cash has given a 2-handed push in the back… the first time wasn’t even a foul, so he should have no complaints about that yellow. #AVFC

So what, now we just hold on for a 1-0 win? #AVFC

Let’s not have a repeat of last time Guessand scored early, please. #AVFC

Guessand loves a bit of Europe! #AVFC

I hope we get to a solution where Harvey Elliott is playing - for anyone - ASAP. We’re obviously playing well enough without him, but this has been an unedifying situation for #AVFC I’m not looking forward to the inevitable game when he ends up scoring against us 😕 UTV

What a great game!!! I have to say we brought Arsenal’s equalising goal onto ourselves, but after that we have been just as deserving the winner - we really took the game to them in ebbs and flows. Who doesn’t love a fairytale ending to a big game? #AVFC

I’m not sure what coverage you are all watching, but I’ve got Martin O’Neil and Ian Wright, and it is brilliant. Both bring so much to the discussion and both are honest and respectful. #AVFC #AVLARS

Up the unsustainable fucking villa #avfc

What a great game!!! I have to say we brought Arsenal’s equalising goal onto ourselves, but after that we have been just as deserving the winner - we really took the game to them in ebbs and flows. Who doesn’t love a fairytale ending to a big game? #AVFC

Buendía!!!! What a finish!!! Take that Arsenal, and your scruffy one-day cricket jerseys. #AVFC

I hope that Lindelof sub for Pau is just to manage Pau’s Minutes 🤞 #AVFC

I think I’ll always be nervous now when Martinez rushes out to clear a loose ball like that… #toosoon #AVFC

Of all the teams, Arsenal really don’t know what to do about Morgan Rogers. #AVFC

Matthew Cash!!! Just like he rehearsed it! #AVFC

In a million years the Villa keeper would not get that kind of protection from a referee. Meanwhile Onana gets a foul called against him for a perfectly fine tackle. More ref chants to surely follow… #AVFC

I’m expecting to hear more of that chant about the referee… Even the commentators called it out. #AVFC

I’m guessing that this 👇 is just what gets pulled up by the ref. By my viewing the true count of fouls - including the ones that the ref blithely waves on - is probably 33% higher. #AVFC

What a battling performance from Villa!! Love to see it. And even that result is overshadowed by my favourite part - 2 goals to Oliver Watkins. No one deserves it more. 💜💙 #AVFC

Great Save Marco! #AVFC

Let’s not get too excited. Sure, Brighton just scored, but everyone has been telling me that goals from that distance aren’t sustainable. #AVFC

The goal stands!! Someone lock Malen away! He’s too fucking dangerous!! #AVFC

Surely that’s offside… Malen you fucking demon! #AVFC

Well that McGinn corner certainly wasn’t one of McPhee’s #AVFC

BACKPASS REF!! #AVFC

Risible #AVFC

Minteh better get a yellow for that. #AVFC

As soon as that Brighton free kick hit Watkins head, I knew it wasn’t going in. #AVFC

Come on lads - 3 unanswered goals…hold it together now. #AVFC

Onana!!!! What is this team doing to me? UTFV 💜💙 #AVFC

My memory must be playing tricks on me. When we signed Guessand I recall seeing all these clips where he was strong on the ball, but every defender in the EPL seems to be able to hold him off. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #AVFC

In the 53rd minute! #emerytime #AVFC

Ollie Watkins!!! Turned the corner bro!! 💜💙 I’m so pleased for the lad. Never stops trying! #AVFC

Ollie fucking Watkins! 💜💙 Brave. #AVFC #UTV

Well, it’s not our day today. #AVFC

Oof. I hate it when you see these kinds of unchallenged injuries. They always turn out to be worse than when a player gets clattered 😕 I hope Tzimas is ok and goes on to have a quiet game. #BHAAVL

As soon as Cash got that push in the back and the ball went out for a corner, I knew how this was going to go 😕 #AVFC

Winning when you aren't at your best is the mark of a great team! UTV

After today, we either finish the round 3rd, or we start reeling in Arsenal 😅 #AVFC

Well, it wouldn’t be #AVFC if we made it easy, but 3 points to us and more or less deserved. Having said that, Player of the Match for me today is definitely Martínez. Kept us in it, even at the end. SJM was a close second. Well done, lads. Play well, play badly, doesn’t matter, you still win 🙌

I’ll reserve my vote for Man of the Match until the game has ended, but I think I’ve made up my mind… #AVFC

Oh shit Barkley - the ones that don’t come after an obvious clash can be the worst 🤞😕 #AVFC

Ok it’s a 2-footed challenge that clearly injured Kamara, but I’ve seen worse things not given cards. Yellow was a sensible choice, and hopefully Kamara can play on. #AVFC
