According to a report published on December 31 at 05:14 (Tashkent time), in Matchweek 19 of the Premier League, London’s Arsenal recorded a big win over Aston Villa. The game at the Emirates Stadium ended 4–1. This was reported by kursiv.uz.reports.
In the first half, both teams created dangerous chances, but the deadlock remained until the break. In the second half, the hosts sharply increased the tempo and took control.
The scoring opened after a corner: Gabriel headed home the ball delivered by Saka. The incident was checked by VAR and the goal stood. Soon after, the Gunners forced an error with high pressing — Ødegaard’s pass into the box was finished with a precise strike by Zubimendi to make it two.
Arsenal then cemented their advantage with long-range efforts. After the ball was laid back to Timber, Trossard placed a low shot into the corner. Substitute Gabriel Jesus put the finishing touch: he curled a superb effort from around 18 metres into the top-right corner. The forward was booked for taking off his shirt after scoring.
Aston Villa mainly tried to respond through set pieces and Rodgers’ attacking runs, but goalkeeper Raya and the back line were solid. Referee Samuel England added eight minutes of stoppage time. In the 90+4th minute, Ollie Watkins capitalised on space in the box to score a consolation goal for the visitors.
