Highlights

FULL TIME Arsenal 5-0 Aston Villa.

90+4'

Fine save Ospina! He is at his best to deny Westwood and Villa’s goalless run continues.

90+3'

GOAL Arsenal! Cazorla sets up Bellerin and he plants his first for the club past Guzan. It’s a rout.

90+2'

Almost a goal for Akpom. He’s through but his shot lacks power and Guzan is grateful to claim.

90+1'

Aston Villa have conceded four goals in a PL match for the first time since 7 May 2014, 0-4 against Man City.

90'

Only three minutes left for this torture to end for Villa fans.

89'

Another good run and cross from Bellerin almost picks out Cazorla but again Villa have enough numbers back to block the effort.

87'

Ozil dances his way through but tries to walk it on. It’s blocked and Monreal ‘s shot is then deflected behind.

86'

Arsenal attacking at will and hunting a fifth. Guzan alert to pluck another out of the air.

85'

Cross from Mertesacker reaches Akpom but his header lacks power and is easy for Guzan.

84'

Lovely ball from Cazorla to Bellerin but his cross is cut out before it reaches Akpom. Close again.

83'

Arsenal with no problem keeping the ball whatsoever. One thing they are good at, amongst many others. Cazorla flashes a cross across the face of goal.

82'

Aston Villa have now gone 600 minutes of PL football without a goal (Benteke scored in the 18th minute against Man United). Ten minutes to put that right...

80'

Gil hits a free kick just over Ospina’s bar. Doesn’t look like it’s going to be their day…

79'

STAT: Arsenal score their 150th goal against Aston Villa at home in the top flight. They have only scored more against Everton (184), Manchester United (157) and Manchester City (151) in the top flight.

78'

Arsenal sub: Flamini comes on for Ramsey.

77'

Meanwhile, Westwood has come on for Villa in place of Sanchez.

76'

GOAL Arsenal! Cazorla slams it home but Guzan gets a hand on it. It was virtually straight at him but he hit it so hard it almost took his hand off!

75'

PENALTY! Akpom takes the ball away from Akore in the box and upends the Arsenal sub.

74'
