ASTON VILLA vs ARSENAL Live Stream Premier League COMMENTARY | Lineups + Livescores

e e for e spe for e e for for e e e e e e e e e spe for e for e e e h e e e just behind the Aral Captain theal Skipper makes it's a good cross aot closer first first got a fantastic head last week Wes head here against asona quite clearly what V want to do they always want to do this to play up from the back he a very high risk High reward type of play going to play from the back hopefully press high and put pressure on them hopefully they can play out use the space Arsenal behind us his pace of Watkins of of Rogers especially of Leon Bailey as well down that right hand flank and then Arsenal though because s vill beat the beat the Press very well Arsenal then used because Viller put so many players forward so I think it could be a lot of the teams have possession here and there but once the count is on they're going to go for it bace is going to open up and we had a slow what thoughts four minutes start to the game very slow due to the injury I think the game's picked up Lively so far and we said room for a good game and right now looking like it might deliver P just spreading the ball out looking for sakur it's dropped slightly short but sakur are looking to pick the ball back up and de's kicked it off the back of Saka and they'll just look to carry this forward from the left hand side M playing on that left hand side he's normally in out and Out Center midfielder but he can play on that left side and he is once again and S have won themselves a throw just inside their own half lucadia will be the one to take the throw strong setup from Arsenal Villa really haven't got going in this game so far and it'll be DEA to get the ball back underway Tan's playing it across his own box it was a risky one but it came off and con is going to feed it into the path of Matty cashew is on this near side on the halfway line just studs on the ball and just slow it down and just play it to his right to Leon Bailey a few yards inside the Arsenal half Arsenal get back so fast and give such an organizing defensive unit it's very hard to break them down and it's uh been no secret they'll be going for the premier league title again this year and they'll want to do it in some fashion they were leading for a large part of last season but sort of fell away at the vital moment and Asen villea going to have a free kick just inside the center circle of Arsenal's half BT Alan's on this he's just left it for conza going to play 10 yards left to Paul Torres over to Dena now they play it forward and then it's just that stubborn Arsenal structure and they just seem at the moment like they can't get anywhere around it they've gone all the way back to Martinez on The his own penalty spot see elans back to Pal Torres left hand side of the edge of his own Box gives it left to De dlam shot by Ben White but he's flicked it down the line for mcin who's strong against Thomas party he's trying to drive down the line it's very very motivated play and he's won his team a free kick so he thought but the game will continue P had a look at the referee maybe thought so as well but uh the game will continue with Martin odard and from what we can see Raf in this opening 10 and a half minutes it's uh Arsenal have seemed to be controlling possession and controlling the play yeah as you see St press isn't it but he's making Aston Villa very awkward for them to play out most teams they're pressing they don't want to press too high against Aston Villa so they want to leave B's back but then there's a couple of players to go press the beat the Press easily and then the space behind WS Arsenal the 100% committed to throwing bodies forward that front free that middle threee are coming forward as well as usually one of the wing backs to really press up high there accepting that they might get in behind us but we might with the ball really high on the pitch High turn over High chance to open the score and once you open The Score that's going to change how the how the game game is all the games played and lovely ball out to Timber now I think he take advantage of it good defending and back tracking cashion they have the ball v but one thing Viller can do is can afford to play out from the back we have the Defenders they have and the goalkeeper they have so much confidence there love the CH fromard to yeah Aston Villa can't get out at the minute and it's odard over to the right hand side to White it's just inside the Villa half on the far side gives it to Saku hasn't lost a stride since the Euros we've seen a lot of players really struggling for Fitness since going away on holiday after the European competition but Saka hasn't missed a beat picked off where he left off and martinell has it left hand side of Aston Villa's box left footed ball looking to the back post is just over saca's head can he keep this in he's using all of his might too and he has plays it a few yards back to Ben White every Arsenal player minus the keeper in ason ville's half and I believe play stopped because might cash is holding his hamstring and it's a second ason Villa player to go down U for unai Emory and it's it's worrying signs isn't it because they've got a long old season they have of course on top of the schedule Champions League football they they won't want any player missing for that vital part of the season willon they no not a chance would doing I think that's sometimes the problem that teams can have that come into the Champions League we saw that I think perform with Newcastle they had a lot of injuries talking with Brighton in the Europa League but sometimes performances in the Le can because the reason these big teams Arsenal Manchester City Liverpool do so well in all competitions is because they usually have two players in each position that are if not world class elite players you look at this Arsenal side you look at the bench you look at C Fury inko Geor if they would fit into any squad they would be the first team where as you look at that bench for Philly fantastic Players Point Barkley and Carlos but that's I think you have an 11 and you have three or four players and you push for that whereas when you have Champions you have CBS they going to put a lot of pressure a lot of strain on your squad and you do look at M cash goes down here like it maybe Brazilian Diego Carlos comes on maybe K boots out to that right back slot I think this is where some sometimes exp Expos if Aston Villa they could maybe had an extra five or six players more for dep that'll really do them well in the long run to push them forward in the Champions League keep them compe in the league cash he gone off medical team having a word with the manager I think we might be forcing to early change here for he just look happy cash so will be probably an early change for just who comes on the field for the Polish International his body language suggests that he is going to vacate the field and that's his afternoon over very early oh no went down for a period of time and now mat cash has and now he's left the field so not what astonvilla need Newcastle curs with injury Dre last season um Aston Villa don't want to suffer the same fate it's not a good start as Timber on this left back position very interesting to see how he fares in this game very interesting that zenchenko was dropped for him in the starting 11 martinell is just winning a throw on this near side in line with the edge of the six-yard Box throws it into that man yurian Timber but come pick up the ball little scuffle there in the middle of Midfield but Gabrielle comes out the winner against Ole Watkins and there will come again Arsenal Absol relentless to the minute it's Dean rice the number 41 drops it back inside to Gabrielle about 25 yards up front goal going to Glide it and looking for odard there's not enough purchase on the ball telam man's touch completely lets him down and it's picked up by Kai HT in that sort of false 10 position gives it out right to Bayou Saka right hand side edge of the Box drops it into odard lovely disguised pass back into sakur who short and that may have been a fantastic save by the former Arsenal keeper and it was down to his right hand side we saw Saka do that against wolves and he's done it again here but Martinez was alive to it very smart save lovely pass as well for Bard to keep it going that was destined for the bottom corner there and you thought the England International was going to put his side ahead and you said what a safe fingertips from the Argentine goalkeeper and that's a difference I think as well that Aston Villa even though you didn't think there'd be a Champions League team they' got a Champions League quality goalkeeper sometimes that could be all the difference Martinez and you see him big chest out there big strong opinion there and he's might cash going off Costa lovic signing the m in January the right back he went back to PR on loan but now the corner is going to come in rice to take momentum still with the visitors and rice will whip this one in deep towards the sixa Box Martinez goes down there's no whistle and he shot and may have hit the upright and the whistle goes now there was a bit of a delay from Michael Oliver it did look like Martinez was fouled in the end but he just hit up right there all became a bit ugly everyone's got hands on each other um six of one half doesn't Martinez has made a meal of it to be honest and there's a shot that came off the post but Michael Oliver saw enough of it he's given a free Kick In The six-yard Box for Aston Villa and all the signs with Arsenal as of right now Martinez is just going to take his time over this maybe slow the game down evera slightly not play it to Arsenal's Pace after 16 and 1 half minutes it's astonvilla nil Arsenal nil float out to the Far Side to mcin he's pushing the back by Ben White shy yes free kick to Aston Villa just before the halfway line in the r half Ben White a bit too physical uh in his defending and they've won themselves a free kick be interesed to see whether they go long but no they go short just interest see if they do load the box and uh float one in but they've gone short and they've gone back to PO Tzu's the short pass but it's come off odan he's actually won his team a throw he's done exceptionally well there the Norwegian and he's just going to drop the ball down on that Far Side the throws about halfway inside the astonvilla half with Ben White spotting short sleeves and wrist tape on both wrists is that man throws it down the line to deam right who's Flo out to the right side he seems to be all over the pitch de R is not really set in one position as of yet Ben White's going to have another pop at it it's a long throw look roard it's a smart long throw but it's a tough one for roard to take down on his left side loose touch and Villa are able to clear their lines headed down by CA to Gabrielle and he will play all the way back to Riot just telling his keeper Gabrielle just to calm it down and play at their Pace but I don't know you just get the sent it's very early doors we've only seen Arsenal play once and then glimpses here but they they do look like a more compatible side and a team that are really going to really going to push Man City all the way this season oh you'd like to think so wouldn't you I think you do look at the rest of the league and think unfortunately to Manchester City's a bit of a gulf and then in the last few years Arsenal have really CAU up making some fantastic signings again you look at Timber he didn't start last week you look at the benches inko you know starting fantastic de F they look like they'll be the ones to push Manchester City all the way if not if the trophy and may for C and and the boys and then you maybe look at the rest of the teams Liverpool they just maybe missing a few pieces possibly Chelsea Manchester United to hot they just missing y get in the Champions League but pushing City and P marola just a little bit different I think Arsenal look so confident so composed how the play they know how they want to play they look dominant as well they're they're visiting Villa Park and they like the home side right now knocking it around and they confident PA pass there though can use his leg stride away and he can come forward in the Belgian yeah he's done really well shrug off OD guard play it down the right hand side to Leon Bailey he's got his back to the goal needs to do something with it back to the fullback n yovic he's just going to play inside to ezri konzo and there's a man down here for a vills leon bayy it might they may have given a free kick here or it may just be a stoppage for an injury remains to be seeing uh what has happened but he did take a not there Leon Bailey's in a fair bit of pain and it could go from bad to worse here for as because he's in an immense amount of pain holding his left knee we'll have to see a replay of what happened it was off our screens from what we're watching unfortunately but the ball was played back and it just seems to be a late challenge maybe that's come in but he's down again and the medic's back on the field this is the third time the meds come on the field within 20 minutes raer and it's it's yes it's nil nil but it's tur into a bit of a horror show for the vilans yeah that's what you would say it's a physical battle so far would you watching it there is it his hamstring that goes oh it's it's off the ball isn't it he's caught his toe in the turf they're always the worst ones out there off the ball because you don't really know the extent of the injury it's a muscle injury or or anything like that at least in some sense you know you never want to see a tackle and two players K get injured but you can also understand right maybe if have been footed on their ankle it's anle that's a problem or anything like that but you look again look at the bench Jacob Ram's he come on and had a fantastic time and much barle match he's an attacking one maybe he could come on and be the difference there's a few options on the bench for Aston Villa make but at the same time I think what they've been so not reliant on but they lost someone like M diab over some of what they relied on last year with that breaking in Pace of a on the breaking in Pace of di looking at the transfers in got options but as you say I think he wouldn't want to lose someone of the ability of Leon Bailey especially when he hasn't really seen anything in this game and you want to see the best players play it looks like he's just running it off so it looks like he will be all right didn't didn't look a nice one that might be a bit sore in the moment yeah he's given the thumbs up to the medic so it looks like he's okay Martinez just going to start the game off with the ball in his hands float it out to Dena about 20 yards from his own goal he's played by to PO Torres he just seemed a bit rushed on the ball and can't really handle the Arsenal press at the minute they've hooked it forward a bit aimlessly in leas there to head it out and it will be a throw to Aston Villa just inside the Arsenal half on the far side Leon Bailey is back on the field which is good news for astonvilla the ball thrown back to PO Torres just inside his own half only Watkins only had one touch in this game so far after 20 minutes and well Kai harv has only had two so um a lot of possession for Arsenal but not getting that front man in the game especially ason Villa not getting olle Watkins in the game the ball just floats harsle to David Riot on the edge of the D on the edge of his own Box gives it right to ca and they will start again with the center half of Gabrielle just look around see what he's got he's gone back to CBA and they'll just start again it's the the patient organized patient play of Arsenal uh they play how they like to play and it it just there's a bit of a different feel for me with the Arsenal Squad this season they they they look so assured in what they're doing yeah I think the past seasons have just looked like oh we're going to push Manchester City and that'll be a success and it is a success we've had successful city of Guardiola been this season they know what they're all about they know that they're one of the dogs if you will there yes second best but they can be first best by an absolute mile this year if City AR on it if they push City they just look a different mentally side in a good way the looks are assur it's one of them were going away to V par I think last year the with Victorious but you said pass window you com to this even though it's a way to Villa Park Champions League side now back them to be the favor I think it's the same last week and will just side but was never in doubt were going to win it was a comfortable two when I think that flattered wolves it was only 2-0 got maybe a bit of problem with de R CAU in his eye or something like that so we've had a few players in the walls if you will so far in the first half yeah it's not been shy of injuries and the funny thing is they haven't been physical against another player they've all been off the ball really as the ball's just going to make its way to David Riot on the edge of his own box he'll start the play once again for Arsenal he's G into Thomas par who's the holder midfielder for Arsenal today moves away for him but he remains in metta's plans William S is just gone right to bed white just inside his own half they're keeping all of the ball but there a front free bearing down on them and Gabrielle's laid on the ball and he's taking his time on it Morgan Rogers will run onto it is he on side oh Oly Watkins has missed from 7even yards out it remains to be seen if the flag would have gone up he will hope so because what a chance Morgan Rogers latched onto the end of a Gabrielle mistake stabbed it through to Ole Watkins from seven yards unmarked decided to take it first time had so much time and for all the world you would put your mortgage on him burying that into the bottom corner he scuffed it and it remains nil nil he just gets it all doesn't he unfortunately I think an on form an on song O Watkins puts that in the back of the every day of the week as you see we've spoke about it having with a few touches that's only his second touch of the game he's at strike he hasn't had a pre-season this is only his second game back he's if anything working himself into fitness but unfortunately there that's nothing with Fitness I think that's just unfortunately maybe a lack of concentration drop of it there he just doesn't get a strike right but that was lovely pressing from Leon Bey I don't think it's a foul at all I do think Gabrielle gets caught in himself sees that he's probably going to get this bessos down ask for it then it's a lovely ball from Rogers def find Watkins as you say David Riot the right hand side of the Spaniard that's should up goal because he just lets it I think he just accepts it OE Watkins is going to go to his left try curve it Watkins goes either away that's on targets a goal but as Villa starting just come into life a little bit but Arsenal now coming forward with confidence yeah need to be careful here Aston Villa um but they have cleared their lines and they've got it as far as that man olle Watkins who's played it off CBA it's made it way to Pal tor's left hand side of his own box Morgan Rogers with a smart little flick but couldn't just find his man it's a lovely flick around the corner from odard though giving it to Saker on the right hand side of the Box looking for the one to goal kick to Aston Villa but we are halfway through the first half in this Premier League Clash it remains nil nil uh but to take you through to halim is my fantastic colleague L rafy thank you very much it's been a stop and start game hasn't it so far when it's been going and some good chances zaka probably the best of the bunch for the visitors fantastic save for down of Martinez well just a second Watkins was going to give Aston Villa and un R side the lead there his shot but just proves Arsenal guess they want to play out from the back buta are going to press them ason trying to play out from the back Li to just clear it away and does well to get the ball back there to Timber he will go all the way back to Riya but just as Mar's fantastic goalkeeper with his feet playing out from the back his opposite number 22 in David R the Spaniard ofmer brenford man which maybe brings that little extra bit of confidence on the to Arsenal these days he has that extra bit of build up that extra body Aral still knocking it around in their own half maybe after that Watkin's chance he just want to slow it down and take the game away from from Asen Villa at home at Villa Park r on the ball they're pressing higher Villa they're not pressing the goalkeeper as AR martinz is on the ball they're quite happy for Ry to have it and more just pressing the passing leads r into Gabriel pass into party try to get into order guard pass from Torres when he gets the ball way to Ben White little room from odard there found some space the Norwegian the Arsenal Skipper well to the left side to Gabrielle just happy to build up from the back and does this show how confident Arsenal are in their own abilities that yes they finding space but even when the finding space not desperate going for it that's what happened to go back and keep the ball yeah they're not pushing the envelope with it all are they they're just remaining patient and looking for that opening sck just falling over himself as he looks to feed Ben White through but yeah remain imp patient they they see a gap but they don't fancy it so they go back and start again and that shows the confidence they do have but it's not the game we really anticipated it's very tactical game looking see who blinks first at the minute we thought it'd be a bit more uh fiery and competitive and open but so far it's quite Cy but uh that very well could change it at any point in this game but so far uh nothing really to write home about in terms of massive chances SO waiting for this game to really come to life but there has been some quality in the game and it's been an enjoyable watch so it just remains to be seeing which team wants to bring that quality early doors it it was just that OE Watkins chance that was massive that's the the real opening from uh the opening 28 and a half minutes so he'll be kicking himself and wanting to uh make [Applause] amends Rogers wants to put a ball in deflect it away before white back of that Watkins chance Watkins opportunity our studio monitor pictures are destined on him approaching half an hour it will be a throwing for D close to the corner flag on this left hand side go for long long gir thr will just go out piz out for an Arsenal go kick D he's looking for quick options might go for Martinelli on that left hand flank instead just play back out to ca just confident stride out of Defense approaching half hour at vus Watkins a fantastic Chan if you're a fan of XG that's probably close to one fantastic chance for the Englishman still on the ball with ca's dropping a little bit deeper to try and get involved in play and just maybe open Aston Villa up give more space to sacker on that right hand side he's taken down by but the referee gives an advantage pulling back to a free kick there on the right hand side close to the by line just inside Aston Villa's half we have hit the half hour mark independent of Jes J commentary this half kickoff in the Premier League go as Aston Villa hosted munai em Hing his former side Arsenal visitors griel the one that free kick they don't want to go direct they do want to build up and try and go for astonvilla I think you were spot on when you said it is is more about who makes the first mistake as Arsenal coming forward with Martin Bas is opening up good run there made by Dean rice he's back on the ball he tries to dig one into the back post headed Away by for for John mcin to Come Away with as he want a foul for his team he hasn't good piece of play there from John M he looks to get the play going nice and early he does Rogers is flying down his left hand side he's got plays in the middle hits out Leon Bailey but what IQ that is from C but he read that play because that's a good ball from Rogers but fantastic defending from the French oh he was he was moving before the pass was even made absolutely brilliant what a back heill that was from odard and it set Arsenal away on such a dangerous counter it looks like will he go for a strike he does and he unfortunately always leaning back doesn't test Martin flies over his bar but again he Arsenal they're just seemingly just ticking over out but they're just getting the foot more in the game they're controlling it ever so much just pushing the pace a little bit more and would you say it's just matter time before the crit not maybe a chance to go ahead but they just start turning up a little bit and ason Ville and maybe get that little bit more desperate and press a little bit more push a little bit more and then that open the space for for Arsenal yeah I think you're dead on I think that's exactly what will happen uh Arsenal might you say there's a long way to go and they'll know this so they won't be desperate and trying to press the advantage but cba's now gone down with an ugly Clash up with them again so everyone's in the Ws this afternoon but um yeah Arsenal will remain patient know the quality they have and uh and really press over home as the game goes on they've got plenty of time to do so as well so we're just seeing that replay again John mingo's flying in on CA off the ball and ab CLS into his mid drift so be surprised if C's uh winded there but actually got the free kick which baffles me yeah I think mcin took a knock for his troubles but I thought that was you watch it back mcin flew into the Arsenal Central Defender just watching this is T close to the by line on the left hand side with the fre Bailey he's on the goalkeeper maybe just as an offset good ball into the middle will it fall for Rogers on the edge of the area good header Away by Martinelli and now the Counterattack is possibly on if Arsenal could use it correctly they've got Kai havs flying through I think he's just on side liman's flag has stayed down for now he tries to put one in that's a poor ball into the area elman's flag has stayed down I think K hav time his run fantastically well I think it was really good defending from ason Villa to get back but if you have m Arsenal you want to take advantage of that I know it's a good balling in from Aver and it's the right the right thing to do but at the same time it's got to be a better delivery hasn't Into the Danger area yeah they've got to be more decisive in them sort of situations and the the the pass was a little under hit and the Run wasn't the best um so it was in CRA just won the free kick and now mcin on CRA and it's all getting a bit ugly in this handbags but uh yeah in terms of the the run in the past they were both times of perfection have it on his weaker rights side trying to play in sacker across the box and it wasn't good enough and it was a waste as well because 34 minutes gone and Arsenal don't really have any big chances to write home back we talk about the patience but you need to be creating chances as well and they aren't really doing that at the minute tested Mar the best chance he say would come from Bayo Saka on that right hand side yes it was a good save it was goal bound think matz would make and it's a bit of a scuffle sff and said CA goes down wanting the foul from Watkins and then mcin Boots the ball against Cela who then gets back up saying what was that for and then mcin gets the ball booted at him as he goes down so I think both players are SE there was no need for that there was no need for this boot of the ball might boot it at MC again I think both I think it was just m was trying to put a foot in try to get a tackle there and the same thing for Ben White I think he was just trying to clear the ball and he watch this back his have on side I think he is sure side he a very close one you like to think looking back could have taken that first touch and the problem is watching it back Timber makes a run into the middle doesn't raka if he makes a run to the back post a can just knock it into a free area and you like the G taking the lead you just want Timber to the run to the back post or if not oh deardo Martinelli Mak that yeah I was criticizing habits there but watching that back sacker and Timber were both blasting towards the box and at the vital moment they slowed down uh Saka didn't really believe he was ever going to get there and slow down like you say timber could have died to the back post where the space was and cut inside so criticize HS there but the runs weren't good enough and we'll get the game back underway with a free kick to Arsenal deep in their own half but yeah it was just an accumulation of two very bad runs but um chance for Arsenal to really press on the 10 minutes to go till half time and yeah a long way to go but he want something to show for it and no real chances as up yet ball from Gabriel into the path of Timber it's fantastic touch past Rogers but then it's cleared away by Suz went back into the path s piece of trouble in a turn there from the Frenchman he maybe thrown around a bit too much these days but he is a real rolls Roy of a Defender he's the Arsenal number two Gabriel formed a formidable partnership at the back in possession Ben White does drop lead to help them out but he's made it way to the other side of the pitch on the left hand side for Martinelli he looks to bring it back in on his right boot got compy the middle he's got de rice behind him though for support he uses the Englishman he just whips one in on his weaker left boot will it fall for odard in the area oh fantastic dribble in from odard the captain is still going it falls into the path of sacka who unfortunately is offside and if anything that was just too many as Villa B scker and odard just in the same facility unfortunately but that was a lovely take down from odard the skipper there and it was a lovely piece of dribbling to get to the left and then back into his right I think that's one of them maybe SA can just not just accept that the ball's going to go past him and odard can continue a skiper could have made something yeah the touch was just Martin odard had his best to touchdown trapped it it was like velcro onto the top of his Boot and then a nice ticker attacker between his left and right boot and then like you say he's just sort of ran into sacker and he was offside unfortunately but um maybe maybe falling victim of overplaying it slightly Martinelli kept hold of the ball for a long time and then Martin odard trying to dribble through but three players and then running into socer so um maybe just need to be a bit more uh Brave when it comes to being in front of the goal they're trying to pass it in and get a bit cute with it maybe they're just any sighting on front of goal especially that the fact that they haven't had any real big chances as soon as you see a sight or a goal have a pop why not only been lacking so far ball over the top of with myter at possession in the last 10 minutes is that we're just getting now 76% for the visitors only far for un ra men to show dominance Arsenal having right now but as n said haven't been tested Martinez other than that sacker opportunity early on of the game ball into H he's done well it back out to guard into sacka tries to play the ball into the overlapping Ben White is well to get away with the ball there there's just no one in the area the ball in from White was more of a just a touch a heavy touch he was just trying to get away with the ball but has needed someone in the middle there because if someone's on the edge of the area someone can run on de rice Martin odard really onto that they can have a real swing Striker goal Arsenal still com over the ball with part whips it out to the right hand side to sacka to throw into this game part try d one into the middle to play it into rice plays back for as a fantastic ball into Martinelli puts it into the middle and it's just falling at a really awkward angle for Kai Havoc it's a good ball into the area but unfortunately with how a is running he'd like to think maybe he can turn his body and get a strike on goal but I also understand that this is fo ball in from Martin Elli just on side I think he just Falls a bit awkward it does but you got to give credit to PO Torres getting across yes he didn't make a challenge but he made it very awkward for Kai H and sort of put his body between ball and goal and uh forced HS to Mis kick his shot and put it out hsy for a goal kick but the ball through from Dean rice down to Martinelli was absolutely fantastic and then Martin Le back across but it's a bit more dominantly down the left hand side which is interesting reward play isn't yes pales gets away from his map because of how many bodies AR are pushing to press High the space that unai side can use in behind but at the same time if avert doesn't if his foot's a little bit quicker he gets that ball instead of that stamp on the foot of Torres well then him and him and sakur got two on1 against the goalkeeper and the goals at arsenals at Mercy until we reach the 45 minute Mark and there will be I'd like to think a few minutes of Ali time we had a lot of stoppage in the first half Rogers is still flying forward is man he puts it back into the middle could goalkeeping from r that was a fantastic jinking run there from Morgan Rogers he's had a lively first half he just kept going he beat rice he beat party and no one wanting to put a foot in he puts a decent Crossing and RI claims it more Palms it into the back into the area but then credit to the the Arsenal goalkeeper then pounces back on and gets it in but if that's it was a fantastic run but maybe if he can just get more of a solid cross back onto that he had Watkins and Bailey in the middle just waiting for a cross and waiting to get a strike on goal yeah it was a it was a brilliant run Fearless run it's what Viller have been missing in this game so far taking a bit of a strangle hold on the ball and just making it their own and Morgan Rogers did just start left hand side of the Box driving down on his weaker left side so the ball in across wasn't the best but credit orah he moved early he knew what was coming and he did he did flap it ever slightly but got hold of it in the end but uh brilliant play by Morgan Rogers and he like you mentioned he's been real live wi in that attacking midfield for Villa so far in the opening 41 and a half minutes back in possession as they have had for most of the first half that 68% possession for the game in favor of michet Corner in the game to Arsenal passes over 200 for Arsenal just over 100 for Aston Villa the opportunities we have spok about you would say chance falling for o Watkins just couldn't take advantage of it lovely flip though from hav into play I don't think so I think AR got bodies back in their draws and put pressure on V yeah I I don't want to criticize looking to end the half on a high the be play from Watkins into Rogers Rogers goes for a striker goal he's bombs back into the path of Leon Bailey who looks to go for a dink into the back post so maybe try and catch David ryer out there that was lovely link up the first time we've really seen Rogers and Watkins link up Rogers strike was was deflected off of Gabrielle it was actually deflected off his own B in the runner in Watkins there and that's much better I think that's the problem we spoke about was very early on in the game but we saw touches and one touch for walk first 15 20 minutes but that's what you want more from Rogers where yes Rogers had a good first half but that link up play them between them two was Lethal if they get a bit more of that a bit more success I create chances that yeah absolutely they just need a bit more zip in their play and catch Arsenal unawares they're just slowing it down at the wrong moments and letting Arsenal organize themselves but you see what he was going for R was off his line so thinking behind but unai Emory yes they've had the vast amount of possession Arsenal but um Aston Villa had the better of the chances so unai Emory will definitely be saying more of the same in the second te archers be a bit more decisive in your play and we can get something out this game be happy if you were SP in the Aston Villa side of the coaching area had a good chance to run at his full back but he takes the ball out and touch and it will be an astonvilla goal kick 30 seconds until we hit the 45th minute and we're just waiting how time you can see a good amount as spoke about earlier do Onana was down for good minute to two was down as well so you can maybe see closing in four five minutes of added time but goal kick from Martinez second ball won by Arsenal with Dean rice fantastic defending there from B to Come Away with the ball this lot of stages of the first half momentum is's swinging the way of Em's men but poor touch there and a Has Come Away With The Ball tries to stick foot we've got six minutes of ear time so even though we're at the last stages of the first half actually got quite a good amount of time to go for La Pa before the referee Michael Oliver BL his whistle for half time rice to cver and just slows down a little bit I mean you said it there about un they've got the better chances and if you are NRA you've got the pace of Watkins and Rogers I think the game plan's working so far to a team because Arsenal you can't say have had that one onone critical Championship no they haven't been able to break Villa down as they would like to they're playing it around but no real penetration on that back line so like you mentioned there's no real massive opening for Arsenal in this game as of yet and that's what belief youy can distill into this team at halime that um it's been a fairly even game yes Arsenal had the majority of possession but it's what you do with the possession you have and Viller have been better with the possession they have had um it just remains nil nil at the minute and it's all to play for around the second half obviously if no one scores in the next 5 minutes and that'll change the complexion of this game completely but very tactical game Who blings first and uh you just feel like one goal in this game just comes to life SP on I think maybe it's that who can make that first mistake and who can be the team to capitalize upon it two top tier teams two top tier managers teams with top elite players two Champions League teams the meeting phip Park this even a ball plays it to Gabrielle he may go for a striker go to open up for him for a second for the Brazilian he plays it to his Brazilian teammate Rogers he's been the player of the half so far for Villa fighting forward beats one man to he's taken down by delin rice and we will get our first yellow card of the game goes to the English midfielder but once again I spoke about that once ESP especially Rogers and Bailey as well once he start gets on the ball that players gets momentum he's an absolute menace to this arsal defense he's been brilliant he's been absolute F that run there was absolutely superb spun round rice maybe a bit of a receipt from Rice there after making a bit of a fool of him knocked the ball around the player and then got round him and then rice took him down in the end and he didn't have many options so he may have been absolutely relieved that he did get taken down but what play that is and he seems to be over his free kick with ladinia so what a time it would be at score never a bad time but with a free kick like that uh you never going to are you very very poor free kick and usually it was a quick free kick taken it was Dean Rogers over the Ballers n s tried to play it quickly into T maybe made a take a touch it wh in but at the same time I know T is a fantastic deliver of the ball whether it's in playoff from a set Pace also D is a fantastic set Pace deliverer it's not like that D is a poor setpiece delivery you're trying to get it to a better one you've got a fantastic position try and put the ball in you've got are up you you've got pal Torres up you've got H watk around there now scor like you said from a set piece from the corner last week against West Ham just put the ball in the facility see what happens Dan's got that his disposal all day long he should have been the one taking that definitely left footed in swinger would have been an absolute gem but unfortunately there if you're going to go short you have to make sure you get the ball in the box and they went short in it it never ended up there and it was a real real waste and you just feel like I wouldn't say chances will be few and far between for Aston Villa but um you got to make the most of them sort of situations especially in the time of the first half but um it's come and gone and it was a waste and now Arsenal have themselves a free kick approaching the last minute of the valley time play from Saka to get away from Onana to fre kick for his side just inside the Aston Villa half or seemly recovered from that early possible headed DRS looking like Mich four now Michael all of no strange just to a word with the referees is are set usually someone who's very animated on the sidelines you can see it there in the replay very animated maybe he's wanting a yellow card for onano really think that's needed I think Onan is it possibly a yellow card maybe but it's the first time he's given away a foul in this game has Belgian International been very harsh less than 30 seconds till we're approaching six minutes of play and going into halftime who do you think would be the happier manager I think it be very even to be honest unai Emery it's harsh to say but arilla are the underdogs in this game so to say you've had the better chances in the first half is uh it speaks volumes and that's that's a great place to be in and the fact that it's nil nil you're very much still in this game Arsenal by the dominance in possession but they haven't had the chances so credit to Aston Viller and their defending but I think both teams would be fairly happy going in at halftime it's just what they can do with that second half 45 and and get a foothold in this game we are waiting for the and we do get it halim at V Park real tactical game and real n battle between both the Spaniard areta and un imry against his former son Arsenal the best

Watkins 25 minutes in Rogers won the ball well and stabbed the ball through to Ole Watkins who was unmarked from seven yards but scuffed his chance and that's all we we're back underway at Villa Park and it's a very warm welcome from myself Nathan was and Lewis rafy bringing you the second half of the game between Aston Villa and Arsenal on this independent off tube Studio commentary no goals in the first half and no breakthrough it's been a very tactical battle between the two sides biggest chance come in the way of Ole Watkins in the 25th minute goal at his mercy and he scuffed his shot and went hsy out for a goal kick for all the possession Arsenal have had that's rather better chance so ums to be saying how the this game goes Rafer are you anticipating uh more of the same going into the second half very tactical battle wared and both teams may go into half time we said it just before we went into the half didn't we that you would think that both managers would be happy to a certain degree that their tactics are working that they're being given opportunities and if you are Arsenal you having possession you're passing it around that's how oura wants to play and build up and maybe you are just lacking that little little looking the final third to come through oard been fantastic when him and H and sacker have Linked UP they've looked absolutely fantastic think right now Arsenal are slowing it down whereas emry he wants to maybe sit back on the counter a little bit more at the same time when they're in possession they are going to pass it around and and and try and knock it around the defense and right now I think your quote it's everyone has a game plan to get punched in the face I think have to be a goal in this game everyone's got to G until the con seed and then we'll go from there we spoke about it off air at half timee that maybe a goal in this game changes how both sides react to it absolutely and Arsenal have been so patient in the first half in the way that they've played we might see a bit more eagerness when it comes to the Gunners and wanting the three points of course they'll act like they don't but they'll know man city picked up them three points earlier in the day um so yes it's only the second game but you do not want to be playing already catch up with the likes of Manchester City but this it's easier said than done to walk away from this ground with three points that was so good last season at Villa Park with the Villians and they'll want to continue that record into the 2425 season but so far so good for them they could have been one nil up at halime but it's still nil nil in all to play for as Ben White looks over the top looking for Dean R it was a good run and the ball was angled towards him just a bit too much purchase on the pass and it goes into Martinez's grateful hands as we play two and a half minutes in this game this is the game that wraps up the round of Saturday fixtures in the Premier League Of course three more fixures in the Premier League to come tomorrow fantastic uh weather here at um Villa Park on our screens that we can see uh there has been rain today but lovely weather and it's uh very sunny and it's a free kick from CBA on Ole Watkins bang in the center of the pitch um and he'll want to make a men's ra from that guilted chance he missed in the first half yeah I think he knows that he should be put that way was a lovely piece of play lovely High Press from Aston Villa Gabriel just got caught and it's one of them where I don't know if Watkins is maybe caught in two minds by how R does approach it he's got his eyes on the ball though and one of them he just SCS it doesn't he I think he's maybe his left foot how it's planted and his right foot how it's planted he he's a bit of an issue but yeah hly Watkins stand that he's SE you're backing him all all put that in the back of and like we say about a goal I think as Villa get the goal that will change Arsenal more than I think it will change Villa with a goal in the game I think Villa are quite happy how they are playing even if they are one down whereas Arsenal will have to push bodies further forward they'll have to open the tempo and play his hands if F do get the first goal and I think Rogers I think that that's the key because he's been so pivotal in that first half he's on the ball now is diving weaving away from from defenders in rice and rice on the car maybe you can use that to your advantage second half po Torres to Glide the ball out to the feet of oy Watkins touchdown looking for mcin he's giving the ball away to P Saka 25 yards out from the asille a goal on the right hand side he'll chop in on his left and then he'll give it out right to Ben White back to Saka more of the same from Arsenal the patient buildup it's Thomas party this time putting the Jets on now and he's just passed left to Gabrielle who's ventured very deep into the astonvilla half party it's a smart turn he's looking down the line for Ben White there's bit too much on the pass forced him into the corner but he has kept it in up against lucad he's dropped it few yards back to erard just stood on the ball on the right hand side remain imp patient of course Thomas parte not forcing the issue just nice onew with Saka no ground made as of yet just stood up you got to credit astonvilla for that it's a strong structure they have and odard maybe looking it to bring white Ben White into the game chopping to his right chopping to his left maybe looking to give it to white but at the same time look like he was just touching it on and again will find a brilliant ball into the feet of Rogers who's got space ran he's the man You' W on the ball in that situation gives it outright to Leon Bailey he's going to drive down the right flank of Arsenal's half he has options behind him but he chooses to run towards the by line he has Martinelli nipping at his heels so he chops back and looks for Onan it's evaded him but has found ezri conin Aston Villa do look like they have a zip in their play when they hit him on the counter and that's maybe what unai emry is said to his team at halim P Torres out to this near side to Lucine a little bit of space he thought about the cross slows it right down again there's no real Tempo or zip in the play right now pal Tor is just going for that onew cuz he has over the guard with him he's just dropped it into the center circle now to ezri coner again another fantastic defensive structure from Arsenal both sides very defensively sound this afternoon 6 minutes gone in the second half astonvilla nil Arsenal nil and it's off tube independent Studio commentary we're bringing you on our screens and mcin out left to Luca Dean running at Ben White he's giving it inside to mcin he's down the line it's a nice ball can get there looks like he'll lose the race but he has got their first deflection off Ben White and into the hands of David ryer but it looks for all the world Rafal Lite we're just picking up where we left off in the first half yeah exactly the same kind of model of for both teams isn't it that good ball into the path of D good defending from Ben white I think down that right hand side for Arsenal with why odard sack ofing very well just CU he has to taking quick touches but because the runs why's trying to make a run that's freeing a Border guard and Sack is making move but freeing a Border guard or whoever is on the ball at the time and good piece of play from R though there trying to look for the Run of Kai Havoc actually a little bit different playing out from the back ason V thrown bodes forward and as you get f r in the second half V going to throw bodes forward and I think if we are Unfortunately n nil at 80 minutes approaching that kind of limit I think if you are L and Metta just from a a standpoint of you know you're at home to Arsenal didn't lose Pi of a point you want to win but sometimes it's better to in a big game like this not lose the lose and then look back on it and say we should have done better we could have done better but maybe we could see a goal or St hopefully not hopefully we'll have couple of goals and some reactions to it again I think he been a fantastic game but we are waiting to to just go into that that next GE so far the park Paul Torres playing it out to John mcin edge of his own box he has been clipped by Thomas parte and that's enough for Michael Oliver to blow his whistle and say free kick to Aston Villa John mcin did well he's been a real live wire so far in this game getting himself about physically and he's won his team a free kick they're just going to go back to Martinez not for the first time with a free kick in this second half maybe short of a couple of options looking forward and that maybe say more about Arsenal's defense than ason B's attack really they've gone right to ezri kzi he's thinking about running down the line but he has HTS nibbling at his heels and there's a bit of a pull on the Jersey and it's enough to deem a free kick and to the dismay of Kai HTS but it's always going to be a foul isn't it yes I think it's a silly one for HTS to give away I think it's a Sly kick but it's one that's always going to be given here you see we're biting away his heels and a bit of a bit of a kick him in some sense then he had a pull up his shirt so referee's always going to go with kza there silly for hav give it away he's going absolutely nowhere he heon Villa Defender but now coming forward oura with the ball in the middle of the field yeah he's giving it to Rogers Onan is going to go for hit the bar and there's going to be a head what a save by ryer on the line it was olle Watkins the head came the ball came down off the top of the crossbar diving headed for olle Watkins all the world look like that's going in the back of the net David ryer on full stretch to his left what an unbelievable save that is was a lovely ball from rers on the edge of the a to he tried to slot it in the bottom corner Tak a deflection off an Arsenal body and then Riya come off of that Gabrielle and then does Riot tip it onto the bar he just he's on the bar Ry doesn't get a touch and ry's on the deck and OE Watkins he's got the goal at his Mercy he's a fantastic save from Rya but if that is's anywhere else that header on target from ole Watkins he's in the back of there cuz yes is it fantastic keep him from from David R yes but it's him just getting up and jumping out if that's in the bottom corner which you expect from ole Watkins that's a goal but at the same time fantastic reflexes there from Arsenal's number one proving why he is in for Mich side and maybe something like that can just give that we can see the fans the atmosphere is just building at V Park maybe that's something that can just tip this gear into the next gear I will compliment David ryer but Oly Watkins that diving header was far too Central at the other Corner if he just put it in there it's a goal there's no chance of Rya getting to it he put it to centrally gave ryer a chance but he did still have to move to it and make the save as odar driving into the area but he's ran into a body of clar and blue and this game really is starting to SP to life and sometimes moments like that will do that and that's a lovely ball from tman who will RN the race Timber or Bailey it was even but Bailey's won the strength race and he's driving down the right hand side of the box trying to get it back on his left he's took too long at it and Arsenal bodies are back and he's laid it looking for uh the fullback but the theay was poor and Leon Bailey did fantastic well up until that point he took too long in it didn't he heed just bit he was trying to cut inside and I think he wants to go for the pass into a Watkins or a Rogers on running but if that's not they go for the strike at goal and I know with R in some good form and obviously just coming off the back of that save but you've got to watch it and go just keep it going keep that pace up off a stri could goal put something in there he's watching it back there even if he heades it back the way right is diving David Ry is basically in the bottom right corner of the goal if he Dives if he puts it into the other side and the way a momentum of Riot he's going in the back of the net and as you say I think the game's com to life now it really is and Morgan Rogers has it right hand side of the Box goes for the shot and it will be a corner kick to Aston Ville Advantage was played because a man was clattered on the edge of the box and he's in a lot of pain uh I can't really see who his is a minute maybe Onana um as he picked it up Gabrielle with a really strong Challenge and he's gone flying up in the air and drops onto his back it looks like his hip that's a really strong challenge he didn't win the ball and that was Advantage played yeah he's holding his left hipo now he was in a lot of pain once again but the advantage was played and it remains to be seen if Gabrielle has been yellow carded yep he's picked up his first yellow card of the Season second yellow of the game and it's another Arsenal man but 57 minutes on the clock Onan is back to his feet and is fine but it's going to be a corner kick to as Villa and this game really had sparked to life there's two men over the corner one of them is Yuri tielemans they're load in the six-yard box of Aston Villa and all a men there's practically I can count at least 15 players in the six-yard box of Arsenal's box and Ry is going to have a real Challenge on his hands he can barely see over pal torres's tall frame and Michael oliv's just making sure he's laying the foundation to say look there's going to be no handbags in there Leon Bailey's left foot Tel men's right remains to be seeing what they go for the lines just stood over the ball as of right now not letting them take it so Michael was not happy for play to continue yet he has now Leon Bailey's ran over the ball T man is going to whip this one in Out Swinging he's looking for Onana he's on the penalty spot unmarked but he's got right onto that and gone over the bar but that was one from the training ground for sure the Bel just got that all wrong there as soon as the run is made on Leon Bailey running up from the corner you can see that a for Onana to make that d run in and then T lemens puts the ball into his Belgian teammate and it's like you said he just gets under it doesn't it if he's if that run if he just holds his running he was full Sprint one into the area if he just in do a bit of a like J and then runs into it he could have ran onto that and had all the power in the world and all the momentum in the world think was a good BN from T he just unfortunate Onana get his run quite correct more than anything it's a good set P opportunity for as go was begging unfortunately for unai re and his side I think this game now we don't want the the levels to drop the incentive to drop arsal on the ball and knock it around think that's what they want they want to slow it down I think me andan want it just to keep going the incentive to keep going the way it isn't if anything turn it up a notch we saw replays there of o9 as run he was not picked up for the whole time he ran into the area and that's worrying signs for Aral but they are on the attack and it's Pico sck on the right hand side edge of the Box Cuts back on his left choses against it gives it to odard who's going to whip this towards the back post that looks dangerous the big tall frame of Martinez out confidently catches it in two hands credit to him fantastic keeper and there's a man down with olle Watkins and it's a shame because it's sparking into life and every so often there seems to be an injury that just sort of takes that uh swing of the game just to an immediate halt we're just going to see Ole Watkins looked like there's going to be a counter and oh he's knocked Ed was party it was unintentional from party yes he he sort of got in his track to slow him down but the The Clash of heads was unintentional and both men back to their feet but yeah they were looking for the Counterattack there and it is spting to life and it's unfortunate you see stuff like that because it definitely looked like there was an n10 battle going on and then once that player went down the momentum just sort of stopped and Martinez on this waiting for a player just to come with a centimeter of his go of the ball when he has it at his feet and then picks it up I don't think it's time wasting maybe a bit tactical a drag a player away but it's bow the ball to ezri con inside to the young uh fullback nadell joic and he's inside to on and the taals are up for the vilans and mcin down the line to Watkins left hand corner of Arsenal's box Ole Watkins wants in it on his right he's gone inside there's a strong Challenge from P another Clash ahead man down and that's HS now and they've got the game back under the way quickly it's hot and fiery and it's everything we wanted it to be now Martinelli chopping inside of the young fullback looks to give it on the fo on the overlap he's taken too long on it and he's given the ball away and Morgan Rogers has Shrugged him off he's won the ball back very confidently and pushed him off the ball Martinelli very poor there complete waste and Morgan Rogers is coming for now shrugs Thomas parte off what a run this is he deserves a goal shot comes in and it's tame with his left foot and it drags wide but credit to Morgan Rogers maybe should have looked up but credit to him for going for the shot but Martinelli what are you doing in that position yeah Le there but what Rogers is having an absolute fantastic game I think he's when you look at Aston Villa 11 just on paper you think Rogers is that the player and you watch this game and you go the itest if you will have a player what game he's having a picked up in his own half and he's ended up winning a corner for his side and he just kept going and going the ball carrying abilities of Rog absolutely fantastic now another set piece for Villa all the eyes are on Onan again he's again so many bullies in that six yard box you said last time makes it a real problem for David ryer in there but corner again momentum swinging I think the way of v on in the heart of that six-yard box Tans and Bailey over this corner once again looks like Tans will be the one to take this one it is and he's going to be into the heart of that six-yard box R come with a very confident strong punch only as far as uh Aston Villa player in the young fullback of Nadel jic and he's played it all the way back to daa and that'll slow the game down and they've got it all the way back to Martinez who's halfway outside he's halfway in his own half he's come a long way outside his box that's a lovely spray out to the right hand side though to find Leon Bailey takes it on his chest and left footed ball into the box was a c men on MAR there if the ball was better but it's into the hands of David ryer hit 62 minutes and he's baled out to William civa and he will just drop it to party and like you say Asen have been the better of the two sides in this second half Arsenal really yet to wake up attacking wise and uh Road their look at times because diving headed by olle Watkins it should have been a goal and we say he wanted to make amends for that Miss in the first half and he would have begged for that to go in and you said rap if it was the left hand side of him Ry is diving the left way he puts the ball the other side he had no chance of saving that and but it remains nil nil and it looks like we've got a bit of movement in the bench this game's coming to life it's gone right to Saka right hand side edge of the Box you know where he wants to go he wants to get on that left foot he's stood up well by mcin he's going to left foot whipp it into the deep heart of that Aston Villa box they've dealt with it twice and now after clear it they have done looking for Ole Watkins in behind very calmly dispossessed by CBA and Arsenal will keep this attack alive with Thomas parte in the center circle right to erard in the Birmingham hot sun gives it right to habber it's over to Saka now has another run at Dena he's chopping in that left side predominantly now gives it inside to parte at the heart of the Aston Villa half Pico Saka Jinx one way in the next gives it into IG guys he's found Saka once again trying to go Brown Martinez can't and now he couldn't get the shot off you see what he's going for maybe a CER of over playing it and he couldn't get the shot of a martinz may have just got a hand to that but a chance for as to get the ball clear Onana Jabs it forward to tan a little bit risky but to get away with it lovely one two with Morgan Rogers now a chance to drive for Onana out of the center circle in the Arsenal half he's unmarked it's a lovely roulette and it will be a free kick halfway inside the Arsenal half on the left hand side 64 minutes gone and that's a fantastic chance pass it over to Le rafy to hopefully take it into a brilliant second half finish what game we are getting into now just watching that sack chance back is he offside I think he's offside so even if the England International would have buged it into the back of the Net v or referee would have definitely changed his mind and would have had a change whether it goes in the back of the net or not but Aston Ville are going to mention it's Ole Watkins who will be leaving the pitch of play see making two substitutions John M the other one the captain going up the two you would say maybe most important players for them last season are leaving the field of play Ramsey coming on for M and Duran coming on for Ole Watkins maybe ask to get fresh legs in maybe just see that the game is getting really stretched really need fresh legs to come on Martinelli is also coming off for trossard for Arsenal so that's a change for them as well well free kick though for Aston Villa to coming they've got Onana still up there they've got Duran as well now Ram is also T go for whips it into the back po into con puts it back into the back Poe and it just trickles W that was just asking for someone to fly to the back POS you can see conza there that's what he's he say he saying I've put it in there someone get on the end of it don't matter if it's dur whoever it is dant does get close to actually getting their head on it when you watch it back he's so close just getting a tap and a touch on it but all that he's in his wi as well but all it's asking for is someone at that back post flying in to tap it into an empty net yeah I couldn't tell what was going for I think he missed hit the pass across and it looked like it was a crosscom shot and you couldn't tell really what he was going for in the end but he was unmarked at the back post from that ball in and Asen Villa definitely looking the dangerous of the two as we take over 66 minutes no chances talk about for Arsenal but for Aston Villa you're looking at this and you think with the chances they have had and the way football gos goes if you keep missing chances while you're on top they can very much be punished especially against a good Arsenal side so uh the pendulum swinging both ways and we we're in for a fantastic setup of the last what 22 and a half minutes so uh we got some fantastic football ahead of us a fantastic day of football something of it's the third game been call today fantastic games earlier Tran versus Everton four goals for Spurs Arsenal be a to get theirs now odard tries to to the right side to sacka on his weaker left foot he puts it back in the middle for hav he fall for thard and the substitute comes on a makes an instant impact what a goal that was and it was sacka who kept it alive he puted it across the goal and Trad calmly and composedly puts it in the back of the net we've been asking for a goal looks like it was going to go for the home side but he's been the visitor to michad set aside who strike first and we talked about this if you're not going to score while you're on top the best teams punish you for it and Arsenal have done just that they've been it's the it's against the Run of play in the grand scheme of the second half uh as Villa have definitely been the better side but Arsenal have come down and there was a poke through to Saka it looked like a hopeless lost ball down the line and uh Saka just he reacted late to ard's pass looked like it was just going to trickle out for a goal kick but he latched onto it kept it alive with his right foot it did did stay in play it was on the line the whole ball was still on the line H ricocheted off Morgan Rogers into the feet of Trad and with his first touch in the game right foot from 12 yards out buries it in the bottom left corner Martinez goes one way the ball goes the other 68 minutes gone Arville a nil Aral one and we may just have a fantastic setup for a grand down finish see maybe that forward push from un Reid and you talk about what an impact substitute can do trar is just that he's got some really important goals for Arsenal at some really important times and you look at who's just come on for ason Ville you look at John Duran Sig in January 2023 came on in his first start last year in a 40 Victory against Everton he first touches of the ball he put it in the back of and the first touches in this game for Trad he's exactly the coming forward now his TR side once again proving to be a real M so far will he win a corner for his side will it be a goal kick for Aston Villa just waiting upon Michael Oliver's decision looking ahead to tomorrow there are games you can catch on this service the three Premier League games bourma hting Newcastle Chelsea take the trip to molu the big kick off at half past four Liverpool hosting brenford Arley slops first game in charge at Outfield but tomorrow this is now and we've got a lot of football left to be played at ason Villa and at Villa Park between Villa and Arsenal looks like this game is just stting starting to get into gear been crying out for a goal this entire game and now we've got one think there will be reaction from Villa maybe they're just trying to weather this storm but sitting deep right now maybe they understand the arsal on top they've got this attacking momentum maybe just have a few minutes of sing back trying to hit on the counter and I think the Arsenal were doing the same ball play to Kai hav on the left hand side back into Hing guard back into hav good defending here from Aston Villa sack's getting involved Ramsey into de he clears it long collision with sack goes out you see saaka he's trying to amp up those Arsenal fans in the away end Arsenal they do look very comfortable right now but just as we're chicking over into the 70th minute you would like to think though because of how danger Villa have been on the Counterattack all evening long but there's still a lot of mileage in this game one two between hav and OD guard BS just bobbling around but I saying it's more that Aston Villa where they can use the space there's a lot to be got at hle here and uh that goal has really stretched this game and uh ason villea find a little pocket here and Arsenal looked like they had belief after that goal but ason villea come once again Rogers in the area clear Away by Gabrielle and now the game really is open stretching both teams are pushing forward out that's leaving Gap behind Viller on the ball out to the right hand side he's got a one-on one with here Timber tries to play one in the middle so Rogers good ball into the box he go for a strike goal he does last off of Gabrielle you can see what that means to the central Defender for Arsenal giving a high five to his Defenders high fives to Rea see what that means to Arsenal but still they've got to face his corner now yeah and they don't don't want to concede you always rable after scoring that goal there that's the old cliche in football and they need to stay mentally strong and as willever been dangerous from set pieces in that big man on the screen keeps panning to remains to be seing how they handle this corner dur up the front post the ball good defending from Tans and he'll go oh all the way back all the way back to martinz but on the half way so he's far back in his own half he pings went out to De on the left hand side headed Away by white but first touch by sacka but he gets away from Onana and he's taken down by the Belgium that'll be a yellow card the first for Aston Villa rice and Gabrielle the other two in the game on a yellow card that's a third one for Aston Villa two for Arsenal and you just thought then that if he could have got away from Onana then sacka was stretching that defense and have been hard to put a stuff to the yeah he knew what he was doing to he the Belgium um Saka with a a touch that he didn't get it into his strive but he definitely put it in front of him and uh he was almost away with that rapid Pace as well so um fantastic and trossard muted celebrations when he scored and you just feel like maybe that's a bit of a statement that he wants to start as well so um statement goal with his first touch so um it's all to play for in this last 17 and a half minutes plus stoppages and might say for a grand stand finish I definitely think for one just saw start on our screen there SCS by up since the start of last season trossard with five that was his fifth since the start of the Campion in 2023 2024 who's on five as well playing for Aston Villa John dur so Aston Villa they've got their own Super Sub on the pitch as well now as well as Arsenal do civa just inside the Arsenal half he's got white and Gabriel to his right and left he goes to white back to Gabrielle and now the Press is own poor play from the Brazilian Center back but the pass from Rogers bil isn't the best and Gabrielle will just let it R out for a throw him showing the higher risk higher rewards right there vill nearly won the high turnover down on David ryer in goal but as well I think from an Arsenal defensive point of view they're fantastic last year as well he's not try trying to take anything away from the last year but if they can come away from vilip par the lost one as we spoke about last year this time two games in Ed you go all way to Villa Park keep clean sheet you mad not only offensively and attacking but you'd be very very happy with how defensively sound you sign to be with a possible second clean sheet bring a in a second because that might be put to bed as Rogers is flying forward he's got de on the overlap or just too much on it fall into the path of Rya but going back to that if you keep a second clean sheet especially at V Park he be happy absolutely in there nine unbeaten on the road and it could very well be 10 soon so speaks volumes for Arsenal and the way they're going forward it's been a hard all game so far in 75 minutes the played at Villa Park but they're getting the job done as of right now they've had to weather a few storms maybe a bit of a rub of the green as well but they are getting the job done and this is one of the hardest away fixtures in the Premier League campaign so if they can walk away with maximum points huge pats on the back for every single player stretches the play to that left hand side fantastic ball to tr Al tries to play into the middle to have fall for TR side no tries to come away with it baely can stretch the pitch down the right hand side the jamaic trying to get away from Timber is taken out but Durant comes away with the ball but he needs some support exact showing right there that yes Villa they're doing a good job defensively not to con the second but they need more ballies up the field cuz Duran was in a good position there and all they could see was Rogers 30 yards away from him on the right on the left hand side Ramsey but you need T and your Inn back's flying forward you one down yeah you don't be gambling too much against South side but when you're on nil down at home you need to be pushing up the field more and taking a bit more of a risk and supporting the players in the front and Duran turned around there and he had nothing on that uh touch line and he was just muscled off the ball cuz he had no support and he was saying that to his players and he has Jacob Ramsey there but on at Dortmund and fresh legs down that left hand side he's going to be flying forward an attacking full back Wing back as it is you like to think that he'll bring from him and Rams on the left hand side that's a fresh side like I think maybe that's a side that could now try and take advantage of down the left of the two subs absolutely and uh Ian Matson I'm a big fan of him and his work he's a brilliant football player and he had a brilliant season at Dortmund last year and it's very exciting to see him in the Premier League so it'll be interested to see what he brings to him like you say a fresh Left Flank for Aston Villa so maybe be uh favoring that side a little bit more and uh the low sun is just starting to take a bit of an effect on the players especially the Arsenal players playing towards that side on that right hand side it's a low sun coming through that Gap in the corner isn't there and it uh may just affect them ever so slightly or maybe not ball over the top to Super TR side he whips one across the base of goal he falls on the right hand side for Sak he's got a one-onone with Maxon plays it on the edge of the are to party and he puts it in the back of the net you would have to say it's a good Striker goal from the number five for Arsenal but watching it back at least live You' have thought that Martinez would have saved that it was just a pass from sacker into the path of part hits it first time into the front post area I think Martinez you can see by the look on his face he knows that he should have done better but second goal for Arsenal just over 10 minutes remaining before that and a bit of extra time as well he' like to think that second goal is probably put the game done and dusted like to think that Arsenal are going back to London with all three points yeah absolutely and ason Villa will be kicking themselves cuz they're on top for large part of this game and uh it was a it was a fairly decent hit shot down to the right hand side it was there was a lot of pace on it a lot of zip but martinz got a hand on it and it squeezed past him but he for his standards also he he will be kicking himself that he didn't save that one and it's crept in off his gloves into the side net and yeah it was quite Central it was down in the right hand corner but for all the world he didn't think that was going in but they have a 2-n lead now and looking back on this game for all the chances Aston Villa had I said if you don't score while you're on top against the good teams they'll punish you and that's exactly what's happened here this afternoon able to take the leads quickly as well have the visitors just taking the game away from Aston Villa L sing quick backto back goals it was Trad as well he was the man who got the goal to give them the lead I would say that he was involved in the second just as much not involved in a goal contribution but he was his ball down run in the left hand side fizzes a ball into such a dangerous area he's picked up by scker on the right hand side he keeps the attack alive he plays it to party so TR hard to come on there in 10 minutes has been such a massive difference Arsenal will make a substitution or Timber will be making way for one of Arsenal's summer signings c k fi the former belongia man coming in so it's number 12 Timber off the 33 CIA fury on and I think that maybe this is a well maybe this is a good opportunity for C Fury to come because new signings want to bed them in slowly he's a fantastic player you want to bed them in slowly when you win in 2-0 there's less pressure on you wi when if they were winning One n you'd want him to go on and make an impact Al de flying forward here puts the ball into the area M oh God what a chance to make it fre lovely play from Arsenal they've really just turned the screw and up the tempo here was a Lov the ball from Gabrielle once again out to tr out he's been involved in everything good things coming on plays it into path of Rise he thought he was going to go for Kai hav he found the pass back for an on running Captain Martin odard and he just gets it all Rong it flies Over the Bar he thought that was three AR there it had to be that was that was an easy chance in the two goals that were scored as he was gallivanting onto it maybe the diving efforts of Ian Matson put him off but if you're marching onto it like that get over the ball and that bottom left hand corner look priman ready to rip the ball and he's got right under it and it's gone flying over the goal and nowhere near but that's a massive chance missed and you'd say if it was one nil you you'd be absolutely kicking yourself he'll be he'll be quite fortunate that um it's 2-n and just looks like after that second goal the wind really has gone out the saes of Aston Villa it's been a really good game and really good second half performance from Arsenal you can see all those Arsenal fans Smiles on those faces a trip up to the Midland it's definitely been worth it and Arsenal currently the won 2-0 last weekend look wi 2-0 this weekend plus four goal difference for them trip last year where they were unable to come away with even a point it was a defeat to Aston Villa they' already Avenged that but Aston Villa still want to come forward on the ball with Barkley looks to switch a player to right hand side a ball he's a bit too desperate I know he does look like the three points going the way of the London side but 81 minutes there is still a long time left in theame of course yeah especially at home when you've got that 12th man if you get one goal back you can build with that momentum in the crowd and and definitely get yourselves back into it but right now they just seem to have lacked energy uh going forward and that that flurry they had where they're on top and then they conceded it just been that sucker blow and it sort of winded them and uh the momentum has gone from them ever so slightly but they need to pick themselves up show with the character show a bit of mental strength and push forward and they have the substitutes on and the fresh leg should make a difference on the ball now really had many of touch coming up back into Barkley one of em substitutes appr 82 minutes joining us for the latter stages of this game independent off tubes jior commentary of this 530 kickoff Premier League Clash ason hosting Arsenal Arsenal are two goals to the good 67 minute strike from Andro Trad believe his first touch or touch is for sure of the game since coming on to the pitch on the left hand side for Gabriel Martinelli and then around 10 minutes later once get involved as Trad whips a ball across the face of goal makes it way back to Saker on the right hand side he just passes it to part who strikes it into the back of the net Mar could have done better he won't take anything away from the strike of party and Arsenal mad two gos to the good making three points back to the Emirates with them and if anything it's maybe not trying to look past them but you would look at the next few fixtures as Arsenal is still coming forward with Dean rice plays it through to the right hand side to odard he could have made it Freeland only a few minutes ago back into sacka maybe he'll want to get on the score sheet he's got the assist for part's goal and Tra goes for strike at goal he's always leaning back and you look at the next couple of games Aston Villa next weekend they go away to newly promoted leester then it's International break and they host Everton a dismal piece of form Arsenal host in Brighton before the international break and after the international break they do go to Spurs but AR Villa flying forward here now with Jacob Ramy goes for strikeout go fantastic defending there from CBA and CA celebrating is almost if he scored a goal with that paie of Defending and you love seeing defending like that no matter who it's for and he was play through Jacob Ramsey just took a bit too long over it touch was a bit heavy on his second one he took you just see the pace on CBA that's absolutely brilliant I don't think it went on target the shot but Rya saved it nonetheless he taking no chances just a bit too long on it but CBA brilliant going across there and even his teammates going across to him celebrating with him brilliant to see from a neutral perspective but Asen Villa do have themselves a corner SW into the sixy box Tran will come over with the ball high in the sky and he's brought it down Fury now tries to set through CA getting run for on the other end he LS his chances against the Aston of players and then Duran another one of his teammates just Collide and fall to the onto the floor the referee says play on I thought he were going to stop the play first there but Clon says Michael Oliver Dean rice switch out to the right hand side to sacka all his game is missing is a goal for England International he's been taken down by T a referee will stop playing now and give Arsenal the free kick a frd kick in a dangerous position it is and uh they can really put this game to bed and uh take the life really out of astonvilla 5 and a half minutes to go there'll be a little bit of out time but yeah Tans was late on scker there in a real dangerous position I'd be getting the ball in the box there won't be playing it short if vard's over it it's set up for for a left footer to whip this one in hard towards the back post and if it doesn't take a touch may it falls into the back of the net but they're in a comfortable position now 5 minutes to play you predict a little bit of added time but some of the a faithful have seen enough and headed home good day out so far for the londers just watching back there was the r who flew in takely out on the both end up on the deck the both are back up on the feet to be defending this set piece on the right hand side it looks like as will beit OD to take captain and he missed that would say C all R the ball was coming into underneath it over the you would have to say scker is unmar just outside the area so that could be an option that odard takes how great Aral can be from set pieces tries to bend it into the front post trying to catch Martin is out catch it on down his left hand side now TR to whip into the front post Duran gets it all run Falls for him a second time will it go for a corner will over the referee the linesman put his flag up the Arsenal players are saying that Maxim was offside and an offside position and he just shephered out instead of letting Trad get to the ball but still set piece for Aston Villa about three or so minutes left we had in time if they could get all quickly they're still in the game yeah they need to make the most of it but it may have just been given as offside does remain to be seen but there's going to be another change for Arsenal Bayo sakers ran his race he did get the assist he didn't score like he did last week but it's given the chance for ree Nelson to come on the field and get a rare few minutes on the pitch so zaka will leave the field but would have been great if they could get themselves a corner in that position but um they're going to take their time over this free kicker Arsenal and just eat into the minutes maybe a bit closer than where they offside originated but um Ry will kick this as far away from his own goal as possible very much not messing around as they won in the first half they got two go lead and to minimalize any errors over the head of Nelson with first touch from the Aston Villa man he's still on the ball away over it Nelson is pressurizing him to fre kick he can just see all the Arsenal fans sackers walking off the side of the pitch where they are will take the long walk to the bench and giveing the Arsenal number seven of the Applause in the world singing his name he's had a fantastic performance rightfully gets an assist for party his goal but he was involved everything good that right hand side that Trio of himself odard and Ben White just as last year proving to be as deadly as it is this year and going into another stage of the game unfortunate defeat looking like for unai M ra men and three points for michad Tetra and Arsenal and coming out with this game is positive for both sides yeah absolutely Aston Villa is just the case of yes it's a two loss but uh they were on top for large part and it's just they couldn't get the ball in the back of the net OE Watkins on another today buries both of them on his best day he definitely does and it could have been a completely different game um but as it stands it looks like the Captain's going to go in the book for Arsenal he takes down Tans but U on another day then balls could have ended the B net it could have been a different story but uh they go down as missed opportunities and it may just go down as an Arsenal win B to take over the 89 at V Park Arsenal two to the good gos from Tran Fresh Off the Bench and field the Thomas party the ball now with coner Tans dur trying to Rams it Paul pass and TR trying to win the ball high the field go further back to con to Torres and being pressurized by German HS ramsy losing ball and if anything needs to come on few really Lively trying to get on the ball try to press with the fresh legs Englishman approaching 90 minutes waiting on 20 seconds of soon we'll see the four official p B if it Remains the Same is a very good for mik arteta and his men so a lot to work on um long way to go but uh so far very much so good for M and his men yeah it was wild and I'd expect better from him David ryers actually got player of the MCH which is uh I think that's a bit harsh on uh Morgan Rogers to be honest I believe he was uh had a fantastic out and yes they lost but he he had a brilliant show him but he made some important saves in important times but Ross Barkley in them sort of positions you've seen him time and time again do some brilliant things and wild effort slice through the ball way over the bar and that's just um put a downer on astonvilla in their performance with what two and a half minutes to play too long to go until Michael Oliver will be ping the excellent a full time and instead I think on another day OE Watkins could have maybe had a hattick with the chances he's had and slowly but surely growing into the season of course didn't really have a pre-season went to the euro finals with England play a big part and but she calleded that vitally important last kick of the game goal in semi-finals against Holland to send England through and South Gates then men through to the final but maybe he's just finding his way into season because he didn't have that preseason they coming forward with Rogers good block away by CIA Fury into Jan and Fury's come on and he's done absolutely fantastically well Max will foul re Nelson there and win a free kick and just reset things around 90 seconds away from full time a fantastic game here at I think he just having a seat I think he knows the game is done for deadline there is just around the corner any transfers will be going down done just before weekends play next weekend maybe few last minute buys and transfers in around the Premier League but a really good game and I think the second half lived up to the reputation that we thought it would first half wasn't terrible thought it was a real tactical battle as you said but the second half really lived up to the yeah it was tight and uh for all the world looked like asva were going to score in the second half but uh Miss chances and Ole Watkins will probably find it hard to sleep tonight after the chances he missed um and Arsenal just punished them and they've showed their class and they' remain patient and got themselves the all important three points and looks like they're traveling back down to London with a clean sheet also and it may be more than two it may just be three TR out he'll go for a striker goal he wants a quick Cameo brace From the Bench but he's is deflected off pal Torres The Waiting arms ofo Martinez and you know do the Villa players it's a done dusted game arsal going to take three points back to London with them Villa fans trying to get an early exit try to beat the traffic in the Midlands it's been a fantastic game and Arsenal not looking for the three points but another day Aston Villa could have pushed them and maybe came with three points but fantastic performance for M aleta's men and the referee Michael Oliver does blow for the fulltime whistle goals in the second half from trossard and party were the Difference Maker full time at Villa Park as Arsenal go back with all three points it's Aston vill nil Arsenal to our next football commentary match is
