talkSPORT's Gabby Agbonlahor took very little time to mock Arsenal after their Premier League title chances were dealt a massive blow.

The Aston Villa legend watched his beloved club beat the Gunners 2-0 thanks to late goals from Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins.

It's a result that sees Villa go fourth in the Premier League but keeps Arsenal second and two points adrift of leaders Manchester City.

Mikel Arteta's side had the chance to take the title race into their own hands but failed to do so, which caused Agbonlahor to rejoice in their misery.

Shortly after full-time, he went live on his Instagram account while sat in his living room, with Sky Sports showing the results on his TV.

In the background, the song North London Forever could be heard playing through Agbonlahor's speakers.

The anthem, written by Gunners fan Louis Dunford, was released in 2022 and is now played pre-match at the Emirates Stadium.

But Agbonlahor, who scored 86 goals for Villa, didn't sing in unison with Arsenal supporters and instead mocked them after a bitter defeat.

"North London forever, whatever the weather," he could be heard signing before bursting into laughter, and then going: "Woohoo!"

Villa's win was their second against Arsenal this season and saw the Gunners fall to defeat in the league for the first time in 2024.

Arteta's side entered the weekend top of the pile, with City's 5-1 thrashing of Luton Town putting the pressure on them on Sunday.

Even Liverpool's shock 1-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace spelled an ever greater chance of taking advantage in the season run-in.

But Arsenal, who have been so impressive all season, were way off the pace and ultimately made to pay for missed chances.

Their former goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez pulled off a stunning save to deny Leandro Trossard in the first-half, with Bukayo Saka shooting wide shortly after.

Villa themselves had their own chances and hit the woodwork twice before substitute Bailey scored the decisive opener on 84 minutes.

Watkins followed up with an excellent chip just moments later to seal the victory and hand Arsenal a defeat they were desperate to avoid.
