Many Aston Villa fans have reacted to footage of Gabby Agbonlahor’s goal against Arsenal at the Emirates stadium from 2008.
Claret and Blue fans have had little to celebrate this season as they see their side sit 19th in the Premier League table as things stand (BBC Sport).
With football currently postponed due the recent pandemic, fans of the club have been engaging through various social media channels, looking back at historic moments over the last few years.
One moment which has caused a reaction is the famed 2-0 win over Arsenal at the Emirates from 2008, where Agbonlahor would score a superb counter attacking goal.
The win would come as Arsenal struggled to break the deadlock and Gael Clichy’s own goal would open the scoring for the visiting Midlands based side.
With Arsene Wenger’s side pushing for an equaliser, Villa would double their lead and get all three points as the speedy Agbonlahor raced forward to beat Manuel Almunia.
Reacting to the highlights of Agbonlahor’s goal, Villa fans shared a reaction:

I will never forgive you for not showing a hapless Wenger on the sidelines wiping his face after that goal.
