Arsenal 1-0 Aston Villa
Really good strength from Gabriel Jesus and he wins a free kick some five yards outside the box. Martin Odegaard takes it and forces a good save out of Emi Martinez, although it may have been going wide.

Dean Smith was sacked after 4 losses in a row. This is number 4 with Man City next. We need to replace Gerrard or we WILL be facing relegation. Not good enough with what he has spent.

It has been a bit more of an even start to the second half with Arsenal not quite as dominant as they were in the first half. They are still comfortable, however.

Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveWhat an unbelievable finish on the angle. Isak has been looking lively all game. He didn't take a touch, he just put it in the net at pace.
