Aston Villa are coasting to three points. So why not send on the kids? That's exactly what Tim Sherwood has done. On comes 16-year-old forward Rushian Hepburn-Murphy who has represented England at Under-17 level.

Daniele Fiandaca: Excellent goal by Ramsey but brilliant by Giroud. Had a great game. Faith restored. Hope he can step it up for Monaco

BBC Sport pundit on Final Score

"This has been a classic Arsenal performance. If anything they have overplayed and been trying to score the perfect goal. But they are 3-0 up and they have played well. Arsenal are looking good, not only for the three points, but for the Champions League tie against Monaco next week."

Championship: Two goals in four minutes at Brighton. Bruno puts the hosts ahead, but Rajiv van La Parra soon equalises for Wolves.

Kadeem Harris has been sent off for Cardiff, who lead 2-1 at Brentford. Fulham's Matt Smith has equalised at Hillsborough and it is 1-1 in their game against Sheffield Wednesday.

League One: Preston's Joe Garner has scored all four goals as his side lead 4-1 against Crewe.

Blake Keeble: Give Keano the Sunderland job until the end of the season then big Sam for the job next season?

It's another beauty. Arsenal have found their passing game today, and create another fabulously worked goal. Santi Cazorla is the man to provide the killer ball across goal this time, on a plate for substitute Mathieu Flamini to lash in from close range.

Surely a goal for Sunderland? Steven Fletcher pokes the ball beyond Brad Guzan but the ball hits a post and rebounds to safety. Fletcher is injured in the process. This isn't Sunderland's afternoon.

A goal and an assist apiece for Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud today.

"Aston Villa have controlled the game from start to finish. Sunderland have been gutless. The second-half they have done a little bit better but the game is over."

West Brom are looking to put this to bed. James Morrison from 20-yards forces a save by Asmir Begovic.

The first goal of the second half in the 15:00 GMT top-flight matches! It's another fine goal too, Aaron Ramsey swapping a one-two with Olivier Giroud and then side-footing into the net. Game, set, match?

Danny Welbeck is on for Arsenal and is the latest man to pass the ball on when he could have shot.

Jack Allum: Allardyce still not made a change. We need a goal you dinosaur! New manager next season please!

Rob Cannock: Fighting relegation and going to Wembley is far more exiting than mid-table going nowhere.

Laurie in London: Villa have definitely changed under Tim Sherwood... No away goals for 10 hours; four away goals in 45 minutes.

"I think I've just seen the most blatantly obvious penalty for West Brom ever, unfathomably ignored by Michael Oliver."

BBC Radio 5 live

You can listen to the closing stages from the Stadium of Light on BBC Radio 5 live, followed by all today's results and reaction from around the grounds. 606 follows at 18:45 GMT.

Tetchy stuff as Santi Cazorla is pushed into Joey O'Brien and it all gets a bit silly from both clubs. Pushing and shoving but it is eventually all calmed down by the replacement referee.

Huge roar at The Hawthorns as Geoff Cameron makes contact with Craig Dawson inside Stoke's penalty area. Referee Michael Oliver isn't interested. This game is still in the balance.

BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

"Sunderland have composed themselves in the second half, Gus Poyet will have had a word and been on to them about pride in performance. Sunderland have got to make something, the old saying is 'if you do nothing, nothing happens'. Villa have taken their foot off the pedal."

Come on lads, any chance of a second-half goal?
