HIGHLIGHTS | Arsenal vs Aston Villa (2-2) | Martinelli, Havertz | Premier League

We let a two‑goal lead slip and dropped two precious points in our pursuit of Liverpool at the top of the table. We deservedly earned a first‑half lead when Gabriel Martinelli stole in to squeeze Leandro Trossard’s cross just over the line, before Trossard again set up our second after the break. Kai Havertz scored to put us seemingly in control. But Youri Tielemans headed Aston Villa back into it at the near post before a smart finish from Ollie Watkins off the bar brought the visitors level. Havertz then controversially had a goal disallowed via VAR for an apparent handball late on, before Mikel Merino hit the post, as we were left frustrated at full‑time.
