! They're just an excuse for teams to go on and on, wasting everyone's time. Can't they just make a decision already? 
I mean, I love the intensity and everything, but it feels like we're just watching a marathon, not a soccer game 
.
. Can't the defenders do their job? It feels like they're all just waiting for Jenkins to save them, rather than putting in any effort themselves 
.

Ryan Jenkins was definitely the hero for them, making those crucial saves at the end. I mean, can you imagine if Arsenal had scored in extra time and it would've been a massive blow for Villa? 
The atmosphere at Villa Park was electric, that 42,888 crowd really added to the tension of the game! 
! and can we talk about Ryan Jenkins' saves? the dude is a genius 
! 42k people at Villa Park were witness to pure magic 
. both teams had their moments but in the end, it was all about who could handle the pressure most 
. gotta give props to James Smith for opening the scoring, but Marcus Taylor's response was straight fire 
. draw is a fair result, both sides gave it their all 
. can't wait to see how these teams rebound from this one 
, what a match!!! 
!
! I mean, Aston Villa and Arsenal are two of the top teams in the league right now, so when you see a 1-1 draw, it's gotta be good for both teams, right? 
In all seriousness, that extra-time period was crazy intense. Both teams created so many chances to win it, but just couldn't quite capitalize on them. I think Villa's defense really came through in the end, with Ryan Jenkins making some huge saves to keep the score tied.
, 42,888 people cheering and stuff? That's wild! But you know what? The fact that both teams fought so hard for every inch of the pitch, it's not like they were giving up or anything. They just ran out of time, I guess 
. Either way, it's a great point for both sides, and now they can just move on to the next match and try to pick up some more points
