In the English soccer’s F.A. Cup fourth round match to be played on 29 January 2012, Arsenal wins over Aston Villa 3 – 2 at Emirates Stadium. While both teams are named strong sides for the encounter, Arsenal, who lost in three previous games, appeared to suffer from another miserable day on the first half of the match. Arsene Wenger's men, Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott, fascinatingly overturn two-goal deficit and send the Gunners through as Aston Villa lead the match at the break thanks to two goals from Richard Dunne and Darren Bent. The devastating and inspired second half performance (with three goals in a destructive 10-minute spell) not only brings the Gunners a stunning turnaround against Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium but progress the team to the next round of the FA Cup.
Lineups:
Arsenal: Fabianski, Coquelin, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Oxlade-Chamberlain (Henry 89), Ramsey, Song, Rosicky (Arteta 71), Walcott (Sagna 88), Van Persie
Aston Villa: Given, Hutton, Dunne, Cuellar, Warnock, Ireland, Petrov (Bannan 82), Clark, Agbonlahor (Gardner 71), Keane, Bent.
