    Absolute justice that Martinez scores the own goal to potentially win the game for Arsenal! Should have had four or five yellows for timewasting!

    A flurry of changes by Arsenal now to try and see this out.

    WOW!

    A huge, huge, huge goal for Arsenal!

    Jorginho hits a first-time effort from the edge if the area that smacks against the crossbar, off the back of Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez's head and into the net.

    Wild celebrations in the Arsenal dugout. The Gunners are moments away from a massive three points.

  10. GREAT SAVE!

    Aston Villa 2-2 Arsenal

    The corner is played short and Jacob Ramsey does really well to win possession before starting an Aston Villa counter. Jhon Duran runs from halfway to get into the area and attempts to find the bottom corner with a curled effort but Aaron Ramsdale pushes away.

  11. Aston Villa 2-2 Arsenal

    Up goes the fourth official's board and there will be SIX minutes of time added on.

    Sam:Martinez booked for time wasting. Shock horror.

    KJB: Drawing or even losing this won't end or title bid, but it will enzyme our poor run. For the sake of turning the tide, Arsenal could do with a win here.

    Joe: I sense Arsenal and Newcastle have peaked, Liverpool must be sniffing a major opportunity to get top 4. Man City will walk this from here.

  13. Aston Villa 2-2 Arsenal

    .PA Media

    Mikel Arteta shakes his head. Is it going to prove to be one too many chances missed for Arsenal today?

    A draw of course won't be the end of their title battle but will feel like a momentum shift towards Manchester City if they can beat Nottingham Forest this afternoon.

  14. Aston Villa 2-2 Arsenal

    Nice ball by Jorginho to Bukayo Saka, who turns quickly on the edge of the box but his shot lacks power and Emi Martinez holds comfortably.

    Four minutes to go in this enthralling encounter.

  16. CLOSE!

    Aston Villa 2-2 Arsenal

    The chances keep on coming as Martin Odegaard puts a great free kick into the box but Gabriel is only able to head it over.

    Aston Villa 2-2 Arsenal

    Inches away from the winner for Aston Villa!
