+3' Villa are putting in one big late effort. McGinn's cross is flicked on and Ings has an effort blocked. Then Traore has a poor volley on the stretch, much to Gerrard's frustration.
+4' Pepe commits a really silly foul on Douglas Luiz. It's one final chance for the hosts to deliver a ball into the Gunners box. Goalkeeper Emi Martinez has gone forward too.
+6' Coutinho fires off a shot from a narrow angle and it extends Leno into a diving save. Almost as soon as he leaves his glove, the final whistle sounds.
FULL TIME. Arsenal take a huge three points. They largely deserved it but Villa were really poor today. The Gunners solidify their place in the top four thanks to Saka's goal. FT: Aston Villa 0-1 Arsenal.
