Arsenal Will End the Year Top of the Premier League After 4-1 Statement Win over Villa

Tuesday's result saw Arsenal beat Aston Villa 4-1 at home, moving five points clear at the top of the Premier League.
A scrappy first half gave way to two goals in the space of five minutes early in the second half as Arsenal capitalised on Amadou Onana's injury while missing Declan Rice.
The goals came from Arsenal's starting XI and bench, with Gabriel Magalhães opening, Martín Zubimendi adding a second, Leandro Trossard scoring with 20 minutes left, and substitute Gabriel Jesus netting one minute after coming on.
Villa's first defeat in 12 matches left them six points adrift in third, with Ollie Watkins scoring a late consolation after missing early chances.
Arsenal's bench depth was evident as substitute Gabriel Jesus scored one minute after coming on, while video assistant referee Jarred Gillett took no action on Gabriel's raised arm.
