Arsenal 3 - 0 Aston Villa Highlights

Arsenal and Villa were nip/tuck throughout a highly competitive first half, which forced Wenger to introduce captain Fabregas ten minutes after the break. And it didn’t take long for the substitution to pay dividends as Cesc Fabregas curled a right-footed free-kick past Friedel in the 64th minute.

With Villa scrambling for an equaliser ten minutes from time Traore collected a loose ball before pinging a cross-field pass to Walcott who in turn threaded a pass forward to Cesc Fabregas to slide home his second of the match. Worryingly, the Arsenal captain was soon forced off with an injury picked up from his second goal. As the match ticked into injury time Abou Diaby picked up the ball in Villa’s half, advanced, and coolly curled home a killer third to thrust the Gunners right back in the title race.
