Aston Villa stun Arsenal with Emiliano Buendia’s last-gasp winner | Football News

Aston Villa ended Premier League leaders Arsenal’s long unbeaten run as Emiliano Buendia scored with virtually the last kick of the game to secure a thrilling 2-1 win that put his side right in the thick of the title battle at Villa Park on Saturday. It looked as though Leandro Trossard’s equaliser would extend Arsenal’s run without a defeat to 19 games in all competitions but a scintillating duel was decided in dramatic fashion when Buendia fired home after a late scramble. Matty Cash drove home a low shot to give Villa the lead in the 39th minute to reward his side’s positive approach before substitute Trossard equalised from close range seven minutes after the restart with his 50th Premier League goal. After that it was a whirlwind of attacking play with both sides unwilling to settle for a point. But it was Villa who secured a ninth win in their last 10 Premier League games to spark delirious celebrations from the home fans. Victory moved them into second place with 30 points from 15 …

SMAT 2025-26: MP’s Arshad Khan registers best-ever bowling figures – 6/9, Puducherry stun Bengal | Cricket News

The ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy has been dominated by batters such as Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who became the youngest-ever centurion in the competition’s history earlier this week. But on Saturday, the bowlers had their moment when Madhya Pradesh left-arm seamer Mohammed Arshad Khan produced the best figures ever recorded in the tournament’s history, taking 6/9 in four overs against Chandigarh at the Jadavpur University ground in Kolkata. Arshad broke the record jointly held by Hyderabad’s T Ravi Teja and Gujarat’s Arzan Nagwaswalla, both of whom had taken 6/13 against Chhattisgarh and Railways respectively in October 2023. With MP playing the morning fixture, Arshad, who had taken two wickets in the previous game against Maharashtra at Eden Gardens, aimed to make the most of the early swing on offer. He broke open the innings immediately, dismissing Arjun Azad and captain Shivam Bhambri for ducks in the second over, followed by Nikhil Thakur (4) in his next. “I wanted to bowl my natural ball. I wanted to try and get wickets with the early swing off …

FIH Junior World Cup: From 1-3 down, France score seven goals to stun Australia 8-3; Spain beat Belgium as QF race heats up | Hockey News

In a scarcely believable game of hockey, France stunned Australia 8-3 at the FIH Junior World Cup in Chennai on Saturday, coming back from 1-3 down to score seven unanswered goals. It looked like anybody’s game at 3-3 after three quarters but France struck early and forced Australia to remove their goalkeeper to chase the game and ended up scoring into open net thrice late on. While France’s second consecutive win put them well on their way to the quarter-finals, the Aussies are left with a tricky last pool game against Korea on Tuesday. Six pool toppers and two best second-placed teams go through to the last-eight stage. The Aussies led 3-1 at one stage with goals from Matthew Hawthorne, Patrick Andrew and Ian Grobbelaar after France scored the game’s first goal through Victor Saint-Martin in the 9th minute. But it was all France from that moment on as far as goal-scoring is concerned, with James Liddiard making it 2-3 and Tom Gaillard levelling it at 3-3 heading into the final 15 minutes. The game …

Arsenal Stun Olympique Lyonnais To Reach Women’s Champions League Final

Mariona Caldentey scored a superb goal as Arsenal stunned Lyon in the second leg of their Women’s Champions League semi-final on Sunday, a 4-1 win in France taking the English club through to next month’s final against Barcelona. Arsenal needed to overturn a 2-1 deficit following the first leg of the last-four clash against the record eight-time Champions League winners, and they levelled the tie on aggregate via goalkeeper Christiane Endler’s early own goal. Spain star Caldentey then made it 2-0 for Arsenal on the day to put them ahead overall in first-half stoppage time, and the visitors ran away with the tie after the break. Alessio Russo scored just 27 seconds after the restart and Caitlin Foord pounced on a calamitous defensive slip to get Arsenal’s fourth goal.
