The Briefing: Arsenal 0 Aston Villa 2: Unai Emery's side leave Arsenal's title bid in the balance
Briefly

Arsenal's defeat to Aston Villa will sting even more after Liverpool's 1-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace. Jurgen Klopp's side left the door open for them to take control in the title race and Arsenal failed to take advantage.
Their approach play was not the issue as they managed to create openings but passing when a shot was necessary, or not having bodies running into the right areas, hurt them.
Whether it was Oleksandr Zinchenko taking a touch too many in a dangerous area or Gabriel's mistake which saw Ollie Watkins hit the post, they were living too dangerously at 0-0.
