53'
Welbeck's cross is gobbled up by Guzan.
52'
This is pathetic from Villa. They're 3-0 down and putting Arsenal under no pressure.
51'
Carlos Sanchez, who has struggled this afternoon, invokes the wrath of the home fans by barging Ramsey to the floor.
50'
Moments later, Ramsey accidentally backheels the ball to an opponent.
49'
Ramsey bundles over a collection of stray Aston Villa legs and mounts an Arsenal attack.
48'
By the way, one change to bring you up-to-date with: Jack Grealish has replaced Weimann.
47'
It’s already noticeable that Villa are content to sit off when the Arsenal defence has the ball. Beaten already? Looks like it.
46'
We're back up and running.

Missed the first-half? Well, here's a recap from that crazy 192-second period.
45+3'
What a crazy first-half. Arsenal score three times in 192 seconds to take a commanding 3-0 lead into the break. We'll be back in 15 minuites...
45+2'
Ramsey flashes a late shot just wide of Guzan's goal.
45+1'
A picture of today's hero.

45'
Concern for Villa: Delph looks a little poorly. Two minutes of added time signalled.
44'
Delph drives into the Arsenal half and forces a free-kick on the edge of the area. Better from the hosts.
43'
Time to whip out the classic cliché: Villa need half-time.
42'
Guzan booms the ball clear under pressure from Welbeck. Just seen a shot of Paul Lambert in the dugout. Not a happy bloke.
41'
WIDE! Ozil hits a bouncing ball and drags it wide. Great work from Ramsey in the build-up.
40'
Good news (of sorts) for Villa fans. Your side has a throw, deep inside the Arsenal half.
39'
Imagine if you were at Villa Park, went for a wee in the 33rd minute and have just returned to your seat.
38'
Ozil feeds Gibbs inside the penalty area. Senderos hacks clear.
37'
Villa look absolutely stunned. They have disintegrated. Cheerio second place.
