Villa v Arsenal LIVE

we badly needed this type of win, everything went right for us.

Solid game.

Mesut was really good today, I also liked Welbeck. Terrific confidence-booster for both of them.

Ramsey's off, still, but I think that he'll get back on track soon enough. I do think simplifying & playing a bit deeper are the keys to regaining his form.

Was anyone else half-hoping that the boss would put on Coquelin for Chambers around 70' ... see the game out, keep Chambers from a second yellow (thus suspension for next match), and also build up le Coq's match fitness just in case? Luckily nothing bad came of it. But I was slightly worried.
