Unai Emery's began their season with 6 games without a win, but the Villans have turned it all around in their last 9 matches, where they have won on 8 occasions, which includes 1-0 victory over Manchester City back in October.

We are underway at the Villa Park for league leaders Arsenal's clash against third-placed Aston Villa. The Gunners (in white) start from right to left and Villa (in purple) are playing from left to right in the first half.

Martin Odeegard has a go but it's straight into the gloves of Emi Martinez, who dramatically dived to catch the ball.

Brilliant skills from Ollie Watkins but an even better save by David Raya. John McGinn played him in and Watkins was exquisite with his footwork as he shimmies past a couple of Arsenal defenders before taking a left-footed attempt, forcing Raya to lash on it.

Ollie Watkins allows the ball to go out for a goal kick as he takes too long to get the first touch on a well-weighted pass

Bukayo Saka puts Eberchi Eze through for a goal but the latter has been shown the offside flag. Eze has been instrumental for the Gunners since joining the club from Crystal Palace earlier this year in the summer transfer window.

Villa center-back Ezri Konsa pulls Eberechi Eze's shirt and he has been fouled by the referee. Both the teams are continuing to go back and forth in this match, but none of them have been able to get the final touch.

Fantastic strike from Matty Cash, who puts Aston Villa ahead just 9 minutes before the first-half whistle. A brilliant right-footed effort off his sheen and through the legs of David Raya.

Good reaction from Arsenal after conceding the opening goal of this match through Matty Cash's exquisite finish. Declan Rice is combining well with Eze and they did get very close to equalizing, but Saka's header went wide.

The league leaders are behind at the end of the first-half in Villa Park, which erupted after Matty Cash netted a sensational goal 9 minutes before Peter Bankes blew the half-time whistle.

We are back underway for the 2nd half at the Villa Park and league leaders Arsenal have a lot of work to do to deny all 3 points to Aston Villa.

Arsenal pull one back just 7 minutes into the second-half and the Gunners have started to stage a comeback at the Villa Park. Who else but Leandro Trossard, who bags the equalizer with a great goal and Unai Emery has his hands on his cheeks again.

The sensational attack ended with Emi Martinez making a great initial save, but the rebound fell perfectly to substitute Leandro Trossard at the back post, who slots it home.

Bouboucar Camara saves Aston Villa from going 2-1 down and they bring in Donyell Malen for Ollie Watkins. Arsenal have gained full control as it appears but Villa are not letting down.

Emi Martinez produced a stunning save to deny Martin Ødegaard's strike from the edge of the area, just managing to divert it over the woodwork. The defensive pressure continued as Boubacar Kamara stepped in to crucially block Bukayo Saka's low effort, preventing a near-certain goal, in the last few minutes.

Bouboucar Camara has been excellent in the midfield today and Morgan Rogers nearly scored the winner for Aston Villa but he ran out of space, straight into David Raya.

Declan Rice takes a looping free-kick but Morgan Rogers steers the ball away for an Arsenal throw-in. 4 minutes will be added on to the clock and the Gunners are running out of time and are on the verge of dropping points, handing Manchester City the chance to close the gap.

Madness! Absolute madness at the Villa Park. Chaos erupted inside the Arsenal box as Aston Villa stepped forward for an attack and Emile Buendia, at last, nets the second goal. Incredible scenes this.

Tielemans' shot was blocked and Buendia, before scoring the winner, had a shot saved as well. Wow, what did we see here. Late drama at its best.

That's it from the Villa Park. Splendid 90 minutes of football here in Birmingham. Manchester City will be licking their lips as they have a chance to cut the gap to just 2 points to Arsenal, who are still at the summit with 33 points, 3 more than Villa, who sit 2nd.
