FOUR OUTSTANDING GOALS SECURE A STATEMENT WIN | HIGHLIGHTS | Arsenal 4 - 1 Aston Villa | PL

We will end 2025 on top of the Premier League table after an outstanding second‑half showing saw us cruise past third‑placed Aston Villa and start the New Year’s celebrations early. After a closely‑fought first half, we took the lead three minutes after the restart when Gabriel netted on his return to our starting line‑up after injury, and that was swiftly followed by a well‑taken goal from Martin Zubimendi. Leandro Trossard then smashed in a third before Gabriel Jesus got his long‑awaited goal to cap off a perfect night at Emirates Stadium, and despite Ollie Watkins grabbing the scantest of consolations, we emphatically ended Villa’s club record 11‑match winning run, and gained a measure of revenge for them curtailing our 18‑game unbeaten streak 24 days earlier.
