Play by play
- 94'
<b>FULL TIME</b> Arsenal deservedly win and they go top of the table, for a few hours at least. They always looked menacing, while Villa paid for a miserable first half display. Four good goals and three good points.
- 94'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Rosicky goes off and Djourou is on.
- 93'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> It was always likely and Wilshere has potted his first Premier League goal for Arsenal. Denilson's shot fell to Chamakh, who lobbed the ball over Friedel for Wilshere to nod home. Game over.
- 92'
Villa going long and Squillaci and Koscielny getting up to try and compete with Dunne.
- 91'
Great tackle from Koscielny as Dunne looked to strike on goal from his own knock down. Dunne playing up front now.
- 90'
Four added minutes...
- 89'
Arsenal just trying to see the game off now before Chamakh forces Warnock into a hurried clearance.
- 88'
Villa win a free kick as the corner comes in. Some shoving in the box.
- 87'
Gibbs wastes a little time in the corner flag before winning a corner.
- 86'
Gibbs tries to latch on to a ball to the back post but catches Friedel on the head as he hurdles him.
- 85'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Nasri goes off and Kieran Gibbs comes on. Then Arshavin makes way for Denilson. Villa make a change too as Chris Herd replaces Bannan.
- 84'
Arshavin does well to win the ball and get to the byline but his pull back for Wilshere is heavy and the youngster blasts over.
- 84'
Dunne rises high again but once more his header is right at Fabianski. Three Villa players were close but couldn't get a touch.
- 83'
Great ball into the box from Downing and Squillaci's flick hands Villa a corner.
- 80'
Arsenal sitting deeper and deeper and playing on the counter.
- 79'
A high boot from Clark flicks Koscielny's head. Arsenal free kick.
- 78'
Now Downing charges down the left and wins a throw.
- 77'
Chamakh nearly got in on goal there but for a swift Friedel intervention.

- 74'
Great work from Nasri, who beats Dunne to a ball down the right. His cross is too strong but right across the face of goal. Chamakh should have gambled.
- 73'
Another mazy run from Arshavin but his eventual shot is well wide. He's been in decent nick today.
- 72'
That has brought the crowd back to life. Villa going hell for leather now. Expect more goals.
- 71'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Clark does get his second! Dunne nods the corner goalwards and Clark's flick takes it in off the bar. Hope again for Villa!
- 70'
Good cross from Ireland and Koscielny nods behind for a corner.
