EAGLE-eyed footie fans spotted a BBC blunder after Arsenal's dramatic 4-2 win over Aston Villa today.

The broadcaster accidentally reported the game was a 2-2 draw, despite the Gunners finishing victorious.


The now-updated article said Unai Emery's team denied his former club the chance to go back to the top of the Premier League in a "dramatic" tie at Villa Park.

It concluded Villa's "defensive strength was evident" as they "earned a well-deserved point".

But in reality, Arsenal netted two stoppage time goals in the 93rd and 98th minutes, resulting in a 4-2 win.

Supporters were quick to clock the error and point it out on social media.
