Penalty.
Lacasette always looking for it, probably a penalty
Thought he got the ball there.
These refs are hopeless.
That's more of a dive than a pen despite the contact
No way is that a pen .. VAR is pathetic.
Martinez saves, but they score the rebound.
Surely the ref should have blown as soon as he missed? Where did the extra time come from given he’d blown for half time?
The VAR inconsistencies are something else.
Might be a penalty but i hate these sort of "fouls" being given, it's going very fast, defender clearly trying to play the ball while the striker is just shielding.
I'll take it though, Martinez almost the hero

Can’t stand that keeper, plays mind games when the opposition have a penalty, he did the exact same against us! If I scored a pen past him after he tried playing games I’d run around him
8-0 win for Liverpool and Arsenal go above United at the end of the weekend.
Feels like Villa got robbed there.
How is that a penalty?
Awful decision
Barely any contact with Lacazette if any, if I were Dean Smith I'd be furious.

Lacazette was lucky earlier not to get a card
A loss to Utd and you're only one point ahead of them
That VAR is selective...........honestly couldn't tell you how it works this season.
It's worked tonight like it's meant too, but barely has worked like this all season. They took forever to bring it back to ref attention

They just waited for a break in play?
Two minutes injury time and they get the penalty almost at the three minute mark despite the fact that there was no stoppages in injury time to warrant an extended minute on top of the two given.

The incident happened well before the 2 minute mark, they just waited for the stop in play it looks like.
I mean in the context of the fact most of the stuff this season hasn't even got a look in with the review over in seconds.
That wasn’t a penalty.
Did he not blow of halftime? Why was he allowed to take the rebound
I thought it was a pen, we’d be calling for it for us.
Is there a specific rule about this sort of situations ?
Not impressed really. One of those lightweight playermakers who just floats around the pitch without doing much. In fairness he played well v Wolves but other games he's been average for what we paid.
Leon Bailey is far more talented so we need to get him on and hope to force Arsenal back a bit at least but game is over now.
That's my issue with Dean Smith. He's just too slow to tweak things. We started off awful, does nothing to formation. Then we concede and he's deep in conversation with Craig Shakespeare for 5 minutes. Again does nothing and gambles we can go in at half time 1 down and we give away stupid penalty.
Never going to manage at top end of premier league with that kind of dithering I'm afraid.
A 2-0 deficit is nothing, game isn’t over till the final whistle.
Tavares has looked good tonight. I didn’t know anything about him when we signed him so asked the Portuguese fans on here who resoundingly said he was useless.
Hopefully he can continue like this and not dip.

His crossing is pretty good, he should stick to that and not be so trigger happy.
Arsenal have been excellent. Totally dominant.
Villa woken up.
I think Villa were just that bad, they’re coming back into it now..
Buendia needs to come off the pitch, he’s been awful.
Game Over!
Lovely goal from Smith-Rowe.
Smith-Rowe is a real talent
Lovely stuff
Villa need to pack it up and go home
