Park\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Aston Villa&#8217;s Diego Carlos was lucky escape a possible red card after appearing to elbow Eddie Nketiah during the Villains win over Arsenal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>John McGinn netted a seventh-minute winner as Aston Villa made it 15 home wins in a row in victory over the Gunners.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A win that sees Unai Emery&#8217;s men go within one point of their opponents in the Premier League&#8217;s top four.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet, they should count themselves lucky they didn&#8217;t finish the game with ten men, after the off-the-ball incident involving the Brazilian defender.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Late in the second half, Nketiah attempted to run behind the centre-back, but Carlos flung his elbow in the direction of the England striker, causing him to fall to the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/09\/22\/78777559-12845883-image-a-98_1702159246302.jpg\"

and was able to celebrate the club&#8217;s 1-0 win over the Gunners<\/p>\n<p>The challenge was seen by referee Jarred Gillett, but deemed the punishment to be just a yellow card and booked Carlos as well as awarding the Gunners a free-kick.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, VAR then did not advise Gillett to take another look at the incident amid a possible case for upgrading the card to a sending off offence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was another slice of frustration on a difficult night for Mikel Arteta&#8217;s side, who felt they could also have had a penalty after Gabriel Jesus was taken down in the box by Douglas Luiz.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Gunners also had a late equaliser ruled out, when VAR chalked Kai Havertz&#8217;s goal off after it appeared the German was guilty of handball in the build-up to the goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/09\/22\/78774299-12845883-image-a-111_1702159752952.jpg\"

Villa, who have beaten both of last season&#8217;s top two, following their win over Manchester City in midweek.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The defeat means Arsenal drop from top spot in the Premier League and
