90+1'

Change coming here for Arsenal as Walcott departs the scene to be replacd by Laurent Koscielny.

89'

Walcott on the end of a pass from Cazorla, but his shot is saved well by Guzan. We are into four minutes of time added on here.

88'

This was Arsenal's 11th goal in the last 10 minutes of the match this Premier League season, joint most in the division this season with Reading. Szczesny off his line to gather up a cross ball from Lowton.

87'

Wenger attempting to calm matters by sending on another substitute here. Arsenal surely can't blow this winning hand?

86'

Arsenal with an enormous 24 shots at goal in this match. Six have hit the target. Walcott lifts a ball out of play from out wide.

85'

Podolski almost in for the second goal seconds before Cazorla struck. Arsenal finally rewarded for their attacking play in this second half.

84'

GOAL! Cazorla slides the loose ball into the net and Arsenal lead 2-1. Fine finish from Monreal's pass. That goal had been coming. Arsenal heading for three points.

83'

Dawkins has replaced N'Zogbia for Villa. Real rearguard action for them.

Wenger looking far from content in his technical area as Podolski just fails to connect with the Cazorla cutback.

80'

Mertesacker than nods wide from another Walcott corner as we head for these closing moments.

79'

Arsenal winning corner after corner at the moment, but finding little room in that Villa defence until Giroud is left unmarked. His header from Walcott's corner is tipped over by Guzan.

78'

Guzan does well to palm away a Walcott corner before hammering the loose ball up the park. Solid enough piece of goalkeeping.

Villa have picked up plenty of these second balls. Mertesacker again doing well to cut out a cross. Arsenal earn another corner.

76'

A Cazorla corner is cleared by the Villa defence before a Giroud long-range hit is well held by Guzan in the Villa goal.

75'

On comes Podolski for the home side and off goes Jenkinson. Arsenal growing in desperation. Or at least that is how it appears.

74'

Clark blocking the attempted cross by Giroud. Another corner on its way for Arsenal.
