EPL: Arsenal Strike Late, Aston Villa Break Winless Run in Sunday’s Premier League Action, SCOREBOARD

It was a dramatic afternoon in the Premier League on Sunday, September 28, 2025, as Arsenal snatched victory at the death against Newcastle United, while Aston Villa finally ended their winless streak with a comeback triumph over Fulham.

At St James’ Park, Arsenal earned a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Newcastle thanks to a stoppage-time header from Gabriel Magalhães. The Gunners fell behind in the 55th minute when Mikel Merino struck for Newcastle, but captain Martin Ødegaard equalized just 15 minutes later. Deep into added time, Gabriel rose highest to head home, sealing three precious points for Mikel Arteta’s men.

Meanwhile, at Villa Park, Aston Villa recorded their first league win of the season, coming from behind to beat Fulham 3-1. Fulham opened the scoring through Raúl Jiménez, but Villa hit back in style. Ollie Watkins ended his goal drought with a composed finish, before John McGinn put the hosts in front. Substitute Emiliano Buendía added a third to spark celebrations among the Villa faithful and relieve pressure on manager Unai Emery.

The results leave Arsenal climbing back into the top-four conversation, while Aston Villa finally have momentum to build upon after weeks of frustration.
