After an off-the-ball scuffle with Zubimendi, goalscorer Watkins picks up a needless late booking.

Ollie Watkins
GOAL!!! VILLA GET ONE BACK! Watkins taps in from close range, after sterling work from ex-Gunner Malen. The latter beats several challenges before eluding Saliba and then squeezing the ball past Raya from a tight angle on the left. It won't quite go in, though, so Watkins finishes off. It's now Arsenal 4-1 Aston Villa.
