    Ollie Watkins has scored his 10th goal of the Premier League this season, more than any other Aston Villa player.

    Villa's Matty Cash needs some attention on a facial injury and gets a bit of treatment.

    Nothing complicated from that, just a ball lumped in.

    It's a lovely finish from Ollie Watkins.

    I think Watkins was just about to be substituted and Jhon Duran was coming on.

    GOAL - Arsenal 2-2 Aston Villa

    Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)

    From two down, Aston Villa have pulled it back to 2-2.

    This is a superb goal too. Right-back Matty Cash cuts inside and swings a cross to the back post, Ollie Watkins is free of his marker and sidefoots a stunning volley past David Raya. Great finish.

    Very few teams come back from 2-0 against Arsenal.

    But Aston Villa have got changes that can score goals and Ollie Watkins is always a danger.

  6. Arsenal 2-1 Aston Villa

    Arsenal have been stung into action. Gabriel with a clever scooped pass and Gabriel Martinelli sends his volley just wide.

    Villa, rather surprisingly back in the game.

  8. Arsenal 2-1 Aston Villa

    Villa boss Unai Emery gets a yellow card for kicking the ball away, with the Gunners crowd cheering the resulting booking for their former boss.

    Just hits the outside of the post.

    Mikel Merino with the tiniest of touches on the back of his heel.

    Have we got a game on our hands?

  10. HITS THE WOODWORK - Aston Villa

    Arsenal 2-1 Aston Villa

    Youri Tielemans almost with two goals in two minutes. He has just scored one and curls an effort against the foot of the right post.

    Suddenly, Arsenal, who have looked in control all match, are wobbling and looking vulnerable.

    GOAL - Arsenal 2-1 Aston Villa

    Youri Tielemans (Aston Villa)

    Out of nowhere, Aston Villa are right back in it. Lucas Digne with a delicious cross from the left, Youri Tielemans, with Mikel Merino in close attendance, flings himself at the ball and his diving header is sent beyond David Raya.

    Game on.

  12. 'A lovely finish'

    Again it is Leandro Trossard, he is up against the full-back and he takes his time.

    There is still a lot to do from Kai Havertz and he catches it with his left foot.

    A lovely finish.

    Two for Arsenal as Kai Havertz scores his 13th goal of the season in all competitions.

    This is a lovely finish too. Leandro Trossard comes up with his second assist of the day, shifting the ball to create enough space away from Matty Cash to swing in a cross from the left.

    Havertz had moved clear of his marker and hits it first time on the left-footed volley, Emiliano Martinez gets a hand to it, but can't keep it out. Fine goal.

  14. Arsenal 1-0 Aston Villa

    Arsenal duo Jurrien Timber (30) and Martin Odegaard (15) completed 100% of their passes in the opening 45 minutes.

    The title is there for Arsenal, but they could lose it the same way Klopp did if Arteta’s emotions keep blowing up and distracting the squad.

  16. Arsenal 1-0 Aston Villa

    Good work from Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly, up from left back, he gets to the byeline and sends in a dangerous low cross, only for Lucas Digne, with his first involvement since coming on, well placed to hack it behind for the first of a couple of Arsenal corners.

  17. Arsenal 1-0 Aston Villa

    You know something special is coming when Martin Odegaard stands over a free-kick. He floats a superb ball into the middle and Kai Havertz gets there, but, under pressure, can only head over the top.

    On Ian Maatsen being substituted...

    It is not surprising. Maatsen is better going forward than he is going back.

  19. SUBSTITUTION

    Arsenal 1-0 Aston Villa

    A change for Villa at the break. Ian Maatsen, who was on a yellow card, is hooked and on comes Lucas Digne.

    Arsenal start the second half off. And we're back.
