Braindead corner given away by Matip under zero pressure leads to an Olympico

Alisson also getting manhandled

Credit where due, that was an outstanding ball out to Salah by Lallana to start the move for the equalizer

This is wild - a Birmingham supporter runs out onto the field to assault Jack Grealish

Sweet finish by Mané, would've been interesting to see if Salah had the penalty awarded

Lallana with the diving block on the clear to even set up the opportunity... crow is good

What’s the shocking scene that Rebecca referred to?!

Edit - a pitch invader in a Championship match assaulting a player. Probably doing more harm by showing it over and over. For once, Americans leading the way by not televising that nonsense in the major sports.

Not sure about that in this case. The FA is coming down with a ton of bricks on Birmingham’s head .. it’s important for their fan base ..actually every fan base - to know this is simply not acceptable behaviour.

Starting to lose control of midfield... wouldn't mind a set of fresh legs in Lallana's place, he looks gassed

Easy goal for Mané if Wijnaldum doesn't stretch for the header, tough to blame him though

Firmino makes it 3

Wijnaldum off instead of Lallana for Henderson - guess the additional goal makes it easier to rest him for Bayern

I mean if Kimpembe's was a handball... lol

Easier to make it than miss there for Mané

After Grealish (poetically) netted the only goal to this point of the Villa - Birmingham match, a steward tried to push him back onto the pitch after his goal celebration in the Villa end.

That steward was subsequently dragged off by police

Didn't seem like a foul by Fred on Lacazette, but Moss gives the penalty and this one's wrapping up 2-0

Probably balances out the midweek one

I'd certainly trade the midweek call for this.

Great result for Arsenal. Looked like the better team all game and deserved the result they got.

As I mentioned I really liked the aggressiveness is the lineup, though when taking off Ozil I would have brought on Torreira and moved Ramsey up to Ozil's position.

Nice to see Ozil starting but, but he looked invisible for much of the match. He should be setting up opportunities for Aubemeyang and Lacazette all game long.

A late Hazard goal away from a perfect weekend. 1 point out of third and looking like one of the stronger of the four for once at this stage of the season.

Torreira was suspended
Figured for sure his appeal would have dropped it from red to yellow. In that case, Guendouzzi for that sub.

One more note, it went in but Aubemeyang's penalty was shit again. You're one of the leading scorers in the premier league, go blast one where the keeper can't touch it. None of this shit where you're banking on a bad guess or find someone else to take it.

Credit where credit is due. Arsenal looked sharp today. Not sure if it was a hangover from midweek or not but United never got comfortable.
