Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, speaking to BBC MOTD: "We managed to rotate and freshen the team up a bit. Those who came in did really, really well.

"We scored two very good goals and in the second half, credit to Luton they are a really good side and difficult to play against but overall a win and another clean sheet and in a couple of days we play again.

"To have a squad they have to play. We have to make those decisions. The contribution they make to the team was very good.

"Now we recover and go again because we have Brighton away."

On Luton: "As a manager you are always looking at it and analysing and they make it really tough for you, credit to them. I wish them the best because they are a very likeable team.

"We want to be at the top, winning our games is the only thing we can do."

Off come Rodri and Bernardo Silva, replaced by Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes.

Alex Moreno is on for Villa in place of Jhon Duran.

City want another here and Jack Grealish flashes one across the six-yard box but there's a bit too much power on it and no one can make the decisive touch to tuck it away.

We've seen some incredible goals tonight but this is the pick of the bunch!

Initially Phil Foden goes down on the edge fo the box and wants a free kick from the referee, but doesn't get it. He then reclaims the ball and smacks it across Robin Olsen into the far top left hand corner.

Puts it right where the net is pulled back, right where Vincent Kompany's shot went in some years ago to win the club the league title.

Earlier, Unai Emery took Tim Iroegbunam, Moussa Diaby and Douglas Luiz off for Callum Chambers, Leon Bailey and Youri Tielemans.

Looks like Pep Guardiola is also going to make a few changes now his side have established a comfortable lead.

Lillieput: Thanks Man City from a Tottenham fan, now go win the league to stop Arsenal again.

Phil Foden is having a fantastic season. That was his 20th goal in a City shirt this campaign.

Rodri has also been excellent tonight. His unbeaten run goes on.

That is just Phil Foden all over this year.

He has spoken recently about how he has changed his approach in front of goal this year, not rushing things, considering chances and deciding whether to play the ball off or take it on himself.

He is two yards inside the box, ball comes to him on his left foot and he sweeps the ball into the far corner.

Such a calm, composed finish from Foden.

Phil Foden skips through the middle and shirks off several Villa defenders, he had one left to beat but runs straight into Diego Carlos on the edge of the area.

Applause around the Etihad as Kevin de Bruyne, John Stones and Erling Haaland are all sent to warm up.

If City needed a warning they have just had two in quick succession there.

First with a quick break up field through Moussa Diaby and Douglas Luiz and then with Clement Lenglet from the corner.

Two good saves from Stefan Ortega to deny both chances.

This is where Aston Villa are dangerous, they break with speed on the counter attack and they've got bodies in space around the area.

It comes to Douglas Luiz, who has a pop from range and Stefan Ortega punches away.

Jeremy Doku continues to make a nuisance of himself as Robin Olsen smothers the Belgian's latest low driven effort.

As things stand, City will go level on points with Liverpool before they take on Sheffield United tomorrow.

City are having to be patient with Villa hemmed into their own half. Local lads Phil Foden and Rico Lewis have looked to link up several times in this game but it's not quite paid off as yet.

It is no disrespect to Luton but Arsenal haven't really broken a sweat in this second half. The gulf in quality is apparent.

Arsenal have been very comfortable here, three big points, minutes into the legs across the squad. Mikel Arteta will be very happy.

All over and that was a very comfortable win for Arsenal, who also had the chance to give some of their squad a chance to stretch their legs.

They go top of the table for tonight at least with Liverpool in action tomorrow.

Jeremy Doku picks up the ball out on the right and gets a shot away but Robin Olsen beats it away.

Moments later, Phil Foden sees the gap in the Villa backline and slots through for Bernardo Silva, who turns and shoots but again Olsen is on hand to keep the deficit to just one.
