Aston Villa vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Bukayo Saka goal seals win

74 min: A poor decision from Lacazette who should have slipped in Odegaard overlapping on the right side of the box, but instead shot straight at Villa’s defensive block. Righ now, though, it doesn’t seem like Arsenal are going to regret their missed chances.

71 min: McGinn’s cross from deep on the right wing is easily cleared by Gabriel, who has looked very composed and comfortable so far in this match. Danny Ings will surely come on in the final minutes to try and disrupt Arsenal’s rhythm.

68 min: Watkins hits the post after a deflection off Tierney!

And here come the Villa changes. Leon Bailey and Bertrand Traore replace Jacob Ramsey and Emi Buendia. Plenty of pace and width in those two. An Arsenal swap too, as Nicolas Pepe replaces goalscorer Bukayo Saka, who took that whack from Tyrone Mings in the first half.

65 min: Douglas Luiz tries a shot from the resulting free-kick and it’s a ridiculous option, 30 yards out, which goes nowhere close to Leno’s goal.

64 min: Thomas Partey picks up a needless booking knocking over Matty Cash. Six yellows in total from the referee, today.

60 min: McGinn fires just wide! Better from Villa, as he picks up the ball on the edge of the box and curls beyond the far post. Still no changes from either bench.

57 min: Villa are at least pressing a little higher and that’s forcing Arsenal to take risks at the back.

54 min: Danny Ings is among a few substitutes warming up. Villa definitely need something fresh.

Saka hustles the ball from Ramsey and suddenly he’s charging towards goal. However it’s a slightly sloppy touch as he enters the box, and Buendia comes back to help cut out the danger.

This half has a similar complexion to the first so far and it’s hard to see what, if anything, has changed for Villa. Their first foray forward is a good one though, and Gabriel is forced to head behind at the far post with Watkins lurking.
