Twenty-four hours ahead of New Year's Eve, we ended 2025 with a bang by beating Aston Villa 4-1 at Emirates Stadium, and you can see all the goals again in our highlights package.
After a tight opening 45 minutes, the game exploded into life three minutes after the restart when Gabriel marked his return by scoring from a corner, before Martin Zubimendi quickly followed up with a second to put us in control.
Playing with swagger, further goals came from Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus, and while Ollie Watkins pulled one back in stoppage time, nothing could dampen our joy as we remained top of the league heading into 2026.
