Aston Villa vs Arsenal Highlights Video

Aston Villa 2-2 Arsenal
40' 0 - 1 Goal Denilson
49' 0 - 2 Goal Abou Diaby
65' Gareth Barry (pen) Goal 1 - 2
90' Zat Knight Goal 2 - 2
Aston Villa's fight for Champions League qualification was given a significant boost as Zat Knight rifled home an injury-time equaliser to rescue a well-deserved 2-2 draw against Arsenal.

Martin O'Neill's side had battered the Londoners throughout the first half but somehow found themselves two goals down only to mount a superb fightback.

Goals either side of half-time by Denilson and Abou Diaby for Arsenal were not a fair reflection of the game and, after Gareth Barry's penalty pulled a goal back, Knight smashed home a stoppage-time leveller to maintain Villa's three-point lead over the Gunners.

With captain Martin Laursen missing Gareth Barry was made skipper for Villa.
