Cash drove home a low shot to give Villa the lead in the 39th minute to reward his side’s adventure.
Arsenal however fired back after the break with Trossard equalising from close range seven minutes after the restart.
The Belgian latched on deflection from Villa keeper Emiliano Martinez to bring the game to levels term.
Aston Villa however kept the pressure on Arsenal missing several sitters before Buendia’s late screamer sent the home fans wild celebration.
