Havertz thought he had the winner but used his arm as he turned the ball in, and VAR ruled out his goal
title bid was dealt a hammer blow after they surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Aston Villa at the Emirates.
Villa were unable to get a foothold early on in the match, but the visitors rode the initial storm and it was Emery’s men with the first shot on target as Ian Maatsen’s effort was punched clear by David Raya. Trossard found space on the left-hand side before fizzing a cross across the six-yard box. Martinelli caught Maatsen napping to take his team-mate’s pass on the volley.
Arsenal remained largely in control of the fixture at the start of the second half, while knowing that they needed another goal to afford them some daylight. A minute later, Tielemans came within inches of hauling Villa level only to see his fine strike sail through Merino’s legs and cannon of the foot of Raya’s post.Matty Cash was allowed to whip in a cross from Villa’s right-hand side and Watkins, unmarked from six yards, volleyed past Raya to land his 10th of the season and leave the Emirates stunned.
