    This is a Big result for Liverpool. Having drawn a lot of games, this 3 points is massive !

    Nunez always seems like someone who can be unlocked if used correctly and is the focus of attacks. Happy for him personally even if the result has annoyed me 😅

    Would have been hugely undeserved if Brentford had have stolen a point there. Dominant from Liverpool without the goals, but as I said you always felt they'd come

    Arne Slot turning Darwin into Divock Origi. Could be a huge super sub rest of this season in games like these.

    Over to Arsenal now against Aston Villa. Villa haven't been playing great as of late.

    That will hurt Arteta and his players as they warm up. Might motivate them further of course.

    They should be winning at home anyway.

    This game will give Liverpool a game in hand again.

    Currently 7pts is the gap having played the same amount

    All away wins today. Hopefully that trend continues

    That Gabriel run to the back post for corners seems to work so often. Probably more than it should as teams surely know it’s coming now.

    Leicester fans have turned on Van Nistelroy already. Could be short stay.

    The ball just about goes all the way over the line from Martinelli's header. I think Martinez should have kept it out on the first attempt, even if it was from close range. Villa were effectively playing with 10 players. Onana has gone off now.

    Martinez throws in another one, such an overrated keeper

    Decent connection on that by Havertz

    Need an excellent keeper on those.

    Martinez isn't.

    2-0

    I am shocked! SHOCKED! Havertz has scored to make it 2-0.

    Again, I think Martinez should have saved it. He got a touch, but not enough.

    Aaaannnd.... There he goes again.

    Folks voting for this Yashin award don't follow his games at Villa obviously. 2 of the best moments in his Arsenal career here today.

    Martinez really must be the most over rated keeper around.

    Villa have got a goal back quickly. Tielemans with a very good header.

    Should be 2-2. Tielemans hits the post. Raya was getting nowhere near it.

    Watkins

    Arsenal doing an Arsenal

    They really need Martinez these last 20mins now

    Watkins has made it 2-2. He was just about to be substituted for Duran.

    Watkins loves a goal v Arsenal. Think he’s an Arsenal fan

    The irony of the Arsenal crowd getting wound up by perceived time wasting by Villa is hilarious 😂

    Nope. He'll remain a zero

    How did Havertz think he'd get away with that handball? 🤣

    Why can you just stand over opponent's free kicks with apparent impunity?

    Looked like it hit his hip or stomach to me.

    Think it actually hits his right hand. Clear once you see it.
