Arsenal 4-1 Aston Villa

 

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.
