The now-updated article reported 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.
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.
Bob Oliver tweeted with a laughing face emoji: “Did the reporter leave early?”
Cheryl Swanick added: “Obviously wrote it at 90 mins.”
And Rob Potts said: “The BBC want to get their app sorted.
“Arsenal won 4-1 but the report of the game says it was a 2-2 draw.
“Rubbish reporting. Must have left before the finish.”
