90+3'
FULL-TIME: Aston Villa 0-3 Arsenal. A game decided in 192 seconds.
90+2'
The visitors continue to flood forward. A bit of late drama perhaps? Hmmm. Doesn't look like it, Villa have everyone behind the ball and are content with a 3-0 defeat.
90+1'
Gibbs' cross from the left flank almost produces a fourth goal.
90'
Three added minutes signalled.
89'
More empty blue seats than humans at this stage. The Villa fans left look gutted.
88'
That's not very nice. Cazorla - in acres of space - cannons the ball into Agbonlahor's chest.
87'
Koscielny sticks out a right boot to stop a Hutton cross from near the right corner flag.
86'
Villa Park is emptying at pace.
85'
VILLA SUB! Leandro Bacuna swaps with the indifferent Sanchez.
84'
ANOTHER YELLOW! Wilshere catches Hutton at full-stretch.
83'
Bit of a cruncher, that challenge. Podolski gingerly gets to his feet and sets about planning his revenge tackle.
82'
YELLOW CARD! Clark goes into the book for a nasty challenge on Podolski.
81'
Oh yes. Arsenal get their one-touch game into full swing, until Wilshere takes two touches to halt their flow. Selfish.
80'
Barely anything has happened in this second half.
79'
ARSENAL CHANGES! Ramsey, Welbeck, Oxlade-Chamberlain depart; Wilshere, Podolski, Rosicky join the party.
78'
VILLA CHANGE! Richardson comes off, with Charles N'Zogbia taking his place.
77'
Cazorla bottles it and concedes possession. Time for the fourth official to earn his money.
76'
By the way, Arsenal still have the ball. If they score now, it will be a 100+ pass move.
75'
Triple change coming up for Arsenal...
74'
Unfortunately, Villa have returned to their shells. Mertesacker and Koscielny embark on improving their passing statistics.
