Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has suggested his side were lucky to see Arsenal have a late goal ruled out in their 2-2 draw on Saturday.

Aston Villa got out of Arsenal with a valuable point after coming back from two goals behind and drawing 2-2. Arsenal started the match on top, but didn't really threaten Emi Martinez up until Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring in the 35th minute.

Arsenal continue to fall behind in the 2024/25 Premier League title race amid poor form, and Mark Goldbridge has insisted the Gunners would have minimal such issues if they had signed Aston Villa star, Ollie Watkins.

After such a brilliant performance full of energy, cutting edge and drive, Arsenal inexplicably found a way to chuck two points away as their jaded, injury-hit team were dejected at the final whistle. They’re still 12 games unbeaten in the Premier League but this draw hurt. It stung. It felt like a defeat.

Goals by Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins helped Villa recover from a two-goal deficit to secure a thrilling 2-2 draw. Watkins has scored six Premier League goals against Arsenal, including four at the Emirates. He is undoubtedly a thorn in their side.
