Sponsored by. ASHLEY WILLIAMS was cheekily pulled up on a double-bill blunder while working as a pundit on BBC Match of the Day. Williams, 40, was appearing on Saturday night's show, which featured highlights of Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa. However, while analysing the game, fans noticed a slight error made by the former defender.

The Welshman was heard accidentally referring to Gunners star Jurrien Timber as "Justin". Viewers were left doing a double-take as Williams then made the same mistake again moments later. And fans couldn't help but poke fun at the former Swansea and Everton star.
Taking to social media, one fan said: "Can someone tell Ashley Williams that Arsenal's Timber is called Jurrien, not Justin?". A second said: "Justin Timber...(lake)". A third added: "Justin Timber?! Cry me a river, Ashley Williams.". Another said: "Justin Timber you know.".

Williams' analysis of the Dutchman came as he explained why he and Thomas Partey playing at right-back in the absence of William Saliba cost Arsenal from the defensive point of view. Arsenal had taken a 2-0 lead with goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz but were forced to settle for a draw after goals from Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins.
Williams explained that the makeshift right side of the defence left them exposed down that flank, leading to the first Villa goal. Partey was then highlighted as he left Watkins unmarked for him to volley home the equaliser. With Liverpool enjoying a late comeback against Brentford through Darwin Nunez, Mikel Arteta's side have now fallen six points behind the league leaders, who still have a game in hand.
