Arsenal squandered a two-goal lead as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Aston Villa in a thrilling Premier League clash on Saturday night.
Kai Havertz thought he had found the winner with a minute left in normal time but the goal was disallowed after VAR showed he handled Mikel Merino’s shot.
Gabriel Martinelli and Havertz had put the Gunners on a 2-0 lead before 55 minutes and were cruising to victory before Villa began a fightback.

Youri Tielemans had a header from Matty Cash’s cross to half the deficit on the hour mark, then eight minutes later, a volley by striker Ollie Watkins, equalised.
The result leaves Arsenal six points behind leaders Liverpool in the Premier League, having played a game more than Arne Slot’s side.
Villa move into seventh, two points shy of fourth-placed Newcastle in the final Champions League slot.
