It took Leandro Trossard just nine minutes to impact the game off the bench for Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta’s side found themselves a goal down at half-time against Aston Villa after Matty Cash broke the deadlock with a stellar finish before the break.

The Arsenal boss rung in changes ahead of the second-half, replacing Eberechi Eze and Mikel Merino with Trossard and Viktor Gyökeres.
As Trossard has done so often for the Gunners this season, he made an almost instant impact with a crucial equaliser at Villa Park.
Declan Rice won the ball back in midfield, before it was played into Bukayo Saka to send the ball across goal, for the Belgian to fire it home from close range.
Trossard has now scored or assisted seven goals in the Premier League this season, a lot of which have come off the bench.
Talk about impact! Arsenal are now searching for a crucial winner as they continue their hunt for the league title, while the hosts are equally as determined to reclaim the lead.
