Thanks for joining us on the Sky Sports Premier League podcast.

There were six games live on Sky Sports on Tuesday evening, including Arsenal against

Aston Villa and Manchester United against Wolves.

Here's how we saw things at the end of the night. Arsenal End, 2025 in some style. They'll start the new year with a five point lead on Manchester City and they

have swatted aside their other rivals keeping Villa at arm's length with a six

point advantage clear of the match Gabriel started it off for them getting the

better of Emmy Martinez from a corner with the opening goal and within a matter of minutes of that Martin

Subimendi made it 2-0 and there was no holding back as Trussard and Gabriel Jesus with really clean

and clinical finishes made absolutely sure that Arsenal's authority was on show.

The only minor setback, a goal near the end for Olli Watkins, but at the end that won't matter too much for Arsenal who inflict on Una Emery, his first defeat back here.

It's Arsenal's fourth Premier League win in a row since their loss at Bill apart, which they have avenged here.

They're seventh successive in the Premier League at home.

They're still unbeaten here this season.

Ten Premier League matches now and 15 in all competitions.

It really is looking rosy at the emirates and they have laid down a big challenge to manchester city ahead of their new year's day encounter arsenal four astinville one

big second half performance, big statement made, Jamie.

Huge a deal for them in lots of ways. The caliber of the opposition, the first time Arsenal

of beating a real rival this season. The manor of the victory in the second half performance as well.

Completely demolished, Aston Villa, scoring the goals and making sure the stadium wasn't nervous at the end.

It was something the crowd would enjoy in the last 15 and 20 minutes.

You hear them playing their anthem at the end there, all the supporters at the end of the game.

It was a game to be enjoyed, not sort of worried about, as we've seen in the last few weeks. And Arsenal needed that. Yeah, those two quick goals were so important, weren't they, to start the second half. As Jamie says, just to calm everything down, because Villa had had some chances in that first half. Yeah, they did, and I think that, you know, we talked about the nerves around the stadium in the first half and, you know, Villa had a couple of chances that, you know, they obviously didn't put away.
