Arsenal take a 2-1 victory against Aston Villa, while the losers are responsible for the 20,000th Premier League goal.

Arsenal have resumed their winning form with a 2-1 away victory against Aston Villa.

Aston Villa controlled play throughout the first half and generated the most chances, but it was the London club who took the lead in the 17th minute. Robin van Persie scored from the spot after Ciaran Clark's interference with Theo Walcott.

Villa's Marc Albrighton brought the scores even ten minutes into the second half, snagging the 20,000th goal of the Premier League in the process. The midfielder relieved Per Mertesacker before slotting through the legs of Wojciech Szczesny.

However, the Gunners, who had been enjoying more possession since the break, regained the lead three minutes from time as Yossi Benayoun headed in to take all three points.

The result brings fifth-placed Arsenal on even points with neighbours Chelsea on 32 points, while trailing seven goals. The hosts, meanwhile, sit in 13th place in the Premier League table.
