Mikel Arteta, and the man he replaced in the Arsenal hotseat, then clashed on the touchline

Emery urging his compatriot to return to his technical area after the former remonstrated a throw-in.

Arteta was booked for his protest, but the breakthrough for his side arrived with 10 minutes of the first half left.

Trossard found space on the left-hand side สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน before fizzing a cross across the six-yard box. Martinelli caught Maatsen napping to take his team-mate’s pass on the volley.

Martinez saved at point-blank range, but the ball drifted over the line before the Villa stopper could claw it away again with his left glove.

Referee Chris Kavanagh looked at his watch, which indicated it was a goal, with a jubilant Martinelli celebrating his seventh strike of the season.

Replays showed it was the correct decision, and moments later, Arsenal might have doubled their advantage only for Trossard to blaze over.

Arsenal remained largely in control of the fixture at the start of the second half, while knowing that they needed another goal to afford them some daylight.

And Havertz thought he had delivered it with 55 minutes gone. Havertz’s missed spot-kick sent Arsenal crashing out of the FA Cup here last Sunday, and this was a much-needed goal for the German.

Trossard was the provider again with Havertz volleying home the Belgian’s cross. Arsenal supporters were still singing Havertz’s name when Villa nicked a goal.

Tielemans stole a yard on Merino and his diving header from Lucas Digne’s cross nestled into the bottom corner.

A minute later, Tielemans came within inches of hauling Villa level only to see his fine strike sail through Merino’s legs and cannon of the foot of Raya’s post.
