Aston Villa v Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score and updates as Gunners chase late equaliser

Aston Villa hurry the Arsenal defenders, Wiliam Saliba and then Gabriel put under pressure but showing their calm to extricate themselves from the situation.

Eddie Nketiah goes down off the ball – was that a naughty elbow from Diego Carlos? The defender is booked and the VAR will have a look…

A yellow is deemed sufficient. A stray arm to the face rather than anything more sinister.

Leandro Trossard goes down and stays down after Matty Cash takes ball and then man. It’s only a brush of Trossard’s ankle, but a sore one, clearly, with Arsenal forced to put the ball out of play. No treatment required, though – the Belgian is up and limping back into position.

That’s not great from Dendoncker, either, looking to switch play with his weaker left boot and slicing his pass some distance away from Alex Moreno. Out of play it skids, thudding into the advertising hoardings.

Nketiah draws a foul from Leander Dendoncker as the replacement striker drops deep. Aston Villa still throwing themselves into those tackles as they look to cling on to this narrow advantage.

Arsenal make their second witch, with another freshening of the forward options. Gabriel Jesus off; Eddie Nketiah on.

It looks like it will have to be late drama for Arsenal again. Up in the rafters, Mikel Arteta perches his chin on a hand, wiping at his eyes with his fingers with his side just having lost control of the game again.

Cash nips in again, forcing Declan Rice into a foul. A first booking, remarkably, of the season for the former West Ham midfielder.

Aston Villa make their fifth and final change. Alex Moreno replaces Lucas Digne, who was booked earlier.

Gabriel Magalhaes rises with command to head it clear.

Matty Cash picks up a loose ball to prevent a counter-attack and spots his opportunity, driving forward full of intent and unfurling an effort. Not quite – bending by David Raya’s left-hand post with the Arsenal goalkeeper not overly troubled.

Jacob Ramsey and Lucas Digne exchange six passes in a private game of keep-ball towards the left corner. Ramsey forces Declan Rice to concede a corner.

An excellent battle between Ollie Watkins and William Saliba as the pair contest for a bouncing ball, evenly matched for a while before the Arsenal defender asserts himself with a muscular (and legal) shove.
