00:20Hello everyone and welcome our footballing travels have taken us to the Midlands we're
00:25at Villa Park I'm Derek Ray and joining me to provide expert analysis is Sue Smith and it's
00:31all about action from the Premier League in this case it's Aston Villa and they take on Arsenal
00:37I can't wait for this one today the atmosphere is buzzing and I'm hoping the football lives up to
00:43it oh Sue this looks promising oh touchdown to the woodwork oh and current converts
00:57here's how the lineup looks for Aston Villa Esri Konza starts alongside Pau Torres in central
01:04defense Emiliano Buendia starts with Jadon Sancho on the flanks and leading the line today is Ollie
01:11Watkins opportunity here and I must say that was almost poetic the short as well as the same
01:20yeah had to be at his best there that was flying in
01:26look at Dina
01:37clearly took a touch on the way out of play so a throw in to come
01:44Martin Odegaard
01:47now with Jokeres and a look at the starting lineup for Arsenal
01:53William Saliba starts alongside Gabriel in central defense
01:57oh you have a go
01:59oh what a save
02:08trying to deliver it accurately
02:10well the timing was nearly perfect with that header
02:19Esri Konza
02:22now with Rodgers
02:26good run very much in control of the situation
02:31and a poor attempt at a challenge and on he goes
02:34and all eyes on the referee penalty given
02:54this to make it one nil
02:57and rattling the post
03:02well you can probably see why we're focusing on this fellow as one to watch
03:06in particular what do you expect to see from him
03:08well for me it's the way he combines with his team mate
03:11always wants the ball
03:13once he's passed it he's on the move
03:15wants it back again
03:16he's a pleasure to watch
03:17I'm sure we'll see more of that today
03:22Arsenal have given it away
03:30still be Mendy
03:33Arsenal pushing forward with options available
03:43can they set up a chance
03:52now a decent position
03:58Jadon Sancho
04:01can he deliver
04:02oh yes
04:03a goal
04:04exactly what they were looking for
04:06and he's come up with it
04:12well here we can see it again
04:14and he shows great ability to get past his man
04:17and from that kind of distance
04:18you back him every time
04:20cool, composed
04:21and a simple finish in the end
04:24well back on the way
04:26and one nil it is
04:27let's see what happens next
04:34Gabriel
04:37Subi Mendy
04:44Aston Villa struggling to keep the ball
04:54Cash
05:00very quick thinking there
05:05Martin
05:06Odegaard
05:07well doesn't have to do it on his own
05:12well nothing comes of it
05:14it looked promising
05:17Ollie Watkins
05:19now maybe room here for the counter attack
05:32space and time for Arsenal
05:34that is a magnificent run
05:37well goal kick
05:38just as it was looking promising
05:40well that looked good for a goal didn't it
05:42surprised that that didn't amount to anything
05:55Jadon Sancho
06:00Amadou Onana
06:08well the threat could be there
06:11nicely tying tackle
06:16and pressing from the front
06:21Uri in timber
06:25well he's certainly not alone
06:27and credit is due for that good piece of defending
06:39oh dear up a dead end
06:41it was promising
06:49Ollie Watkins
06:51and ball back with Arsenal now
06:59Martin
07:00Odegaard
07:07Ollie Watkins
07:10well half time coming up shortly
07:13and the home side on top
07:14interested to get your critique
07:16yeah it's been a decent
07:17oh hang on Sue
07:18it's a chance
07:19oh he's found the net
07:21and that increases the advantage to two
07:24just what they wanted
07:26and just what they deserve
07:31well here's the replay
07:32despite lots of pressure from the defender
07:35he manages to hold him off
07:37gets his shot away
07:38it's a good goal
07:39so back on the way
07:56with the lead standing at 2-0
07:59Martin Odegaard
08:10Ollie Watkins
08:13was spot on for that challenge
08:16so two minutes of stoppage time to be added on
08:19teammates available
08:29now they stop them in their tracks
08:34oh big moments
08:37and the referees whistle
08:39meaning that
08:45well underway once more
08:47and it's going to be fascinating
08:48to see what developments occur
08:50in this second half
08:54just cutting off the supply
09:00Declan Rice
09:06Arsenal struggling to keep the ball
09:11Watkins
09:13now with Rodgers
09:20oh genuine chance
09:23well it's a wild attempt
09:25he needed something better
09:26offside however
09:28well he'd be so glad
09:29that the flag was raised there
09:30because what a poor finish that was
09:35Timber
09:38Saka
09:39an encouraging Arsenal move
09:44and a throw in for Arsenal
09:48and just like that
09:50they've given the ball away
09:51well that should never
09:52to eat into the lead
09:54oh that is a superb save
10:00who can he pick out
10:02sadly too straight
10:04to worry the goalkeeper
10:05that time
10:10Morgan Rodgers
10:13Amadou Onana
10:16well unable to hold
10:17this run
10:18and that's offside
10:27William Saliba
10:29William Saliba
10:31Uri and Timber

11:09good wing play
11:17Douglas Luiz
11:19oh a brilliantly
11:21time tackle
11:22when it really mattered
11:23oh it's a cracking bit of
11:24defending that wasn't it
11:28Martin
11:28Odegaard
11:31now the quick counter attack
11:33could be on
11:36oh they have it again
11:48and support available
11:54Martin
11:55Odegaard
11:56having to shoot
11:57and that's comfortably
11:58gathered
12:08and it wasn't a great pass
12:10was it
12:10free kick is what's been given
12:18counter attacking chance
12:24Declan Rice
12:26out of play
12:30and an Arsenal throw in
12:31forthcoming
12:33a very timely interception
12:38Guendia
12:44running with confidence
12:49oh it's a terrific
12:51challenge
12:56Arsenal could threaten
12:58from this position
13:00electing to cross
13:02into the centre
13:04no defensive
13:06resilience there
13:10Douglas Luiz
13:11plenty of options
13:12well it came to nothing
13:14in the end
13:19Subimendi
13:19and slips through
13:21beautifully
13:24oh really good reflexes
13:26and danger averted
13:31in the short corner
13:32let's see
13:34how did they let that
13:35attack come to an end
13:39to reduce the arrears
13:41a goal
13:42just what they needed
13:44still plenty of life
13:45in this match
13:52well we can see it here again
13:54and it's a good finish
13:55but for me
13:55it's all about the press
13:57beforehand
13:57really disciplined
13:59working as a team
14:00to force the mistake
14:01and then they take full advantage
14:03it's a really good goal
14:09time and the scoreline
14:11against Arsenal
14:11but still they're in this
14:13in it goes
14:14but wait a minute
14:16that will not count
14:17oh that was so tight
14:19you can see how frustrated he is
14:22but he did finish it off well
14:29Aston Villa
14:31regaining possession
14:36he has teammates
14:39around him
14:41cross could be useful
14:43not the clearance
14:44not the clearance that was called for
14:45how about this for Trauma
14:48or even once more
14:50astonishing
14:55well this all starts
14:57with the delivery
14:57into the box
14:58doesn't it
14:59absolutely begging
15:00for someone to get onto it
15:02and once it falls
15:03to him like that
15:04it's a routine finish
15:05cool and clinical
15:08well they still have designs
15:10on the win
15:11this looks more than decent
15:17yes is the answer
15:19and that could be
15:20oh so important
15:43well here we can see it again
15:45and a simple finish it may be
15:47but it's all about the movement in the box
15:49just to find that yard or two a space
15:52that's what makes it an easy finish
15:54in the end
16:05so they restart the game
16:08and time is running out
16:13William Saliba
16:15Arsenal have given us away
16:20Jadon Sancho
16:28and three minutes will be added on
16:30for stoppages
16:32and winning it back
16:48perfectly positioned to take it away
16:54good weight on that pass
