    Goods and Services Tax. I believe you have something similar, different name? It's an extra impost by the government of 10% on most things you buy. It was mooted in this country for a long while and eventually rejected as, probably, not a vote winner, and was described as being 'dead in the water' until the government of the day simply couldn't resist it's amazing revenue potential.

    Unai Emery's Aston Villa denied his former club Arsenal the chance to go back to the top of the Premier League as they played out a dramatic draw at Villa Park.

    Villa twice went ahead through Ollie Watkins and Philippe Coutinho in the firstt half as they hosts pressed high early on.

    They were pegged back by strikes from Bukayo Saka and Oleksandr Zinchenko either side of the break, but Villa's defensive strength was evident as they earned a deserved point.

    The BBC at its best....................

    Aston Villa 2 Arsenal 4
    • Watkins (5'minutes),
    • Coutinho (31'minutes)

    • Saka (16'minutes),
    • Zinchenko (61'minutes),
    • E Martínez (90'+3minutes og),
    • Martinelli (90'+8minutes)

    Update.
    Arsenal scored twice in stoppage time to win a six-goal thriller at Aston Villa and return to the top of the Premier League.

    More to follow.
