FULL-TIME, ARSENAL 0-2 ASTON VILLA. A magnificent performance from Aston Villa. Two great goals as well as hitting the posts twiceand Villa have done the double over Arsenal for only the third time since the Premier League started. An incredible performance from the visitors. Arsenal had bossed the first half and looked value, but Villa just stepped up and squeezed the hosts out in the second half. Amazing scenesand what a win. It's been great bringing you the action as it happenshope you enjoyed following it with us, and here's to a great sporting week ahead of us!
Long ball over the top for Bailey down the righthe pushes up to the corner flag, then turns and backpassesand Villa are passing the ball around waiting for the final whistle and there it is! A great, great win for Villa at the Emirates!
Great work from Arsenal inside the Villa box, threading three passes around looking for the shot, but the shot it eventually blocked and Villa win a free-kick. So frustrating for Arsenal just unable to break back.
Bailey slips through behind the Arsenal defence inside the box, crosses and Watkins gets a good touch on goal that Raya saves, tries to follow up but Arsenal clear and now the flag is for offside. Great momentum from Villa.
Arsenal looking absolutely stunned. They're not giving up as there is plenty of extra time, but you can see that the wind has been knocked out of their sails.
GOAL, ASTON VILLA, WATKINS! 0-2; Another long ball to clear the danger from an Arsenal attack, Watkins runs onto it, presses forward with a defender on his shoulder, Raya comes out to meet him but he calmly dinks the ball over the keeper (might be a tiny deflection) and it loops beautifully over the keeper and into the net! CUE VILLA (AND MAN CITY) WILD CELEBRATIONS.
GOAL, ASTON VILLA, BAILEY! 0-1; Digne presses down the left and crosses hard across the box it beats everyone but BAILEY comes screaming in from wide of the back post and slams his shot first-time inside the near post, Raya diving in despair. Super goal and so well deserved as Villa have been quality.

Arsenal have pressed forward but Villa are so tight on defence that there's nothing there for them.

We will have eight minutes of added time, enough for Arsenal to even winalthough unlikely based on how well Villa have been playing.
