Ratings & Reactions: Arsenal v Villa

[villa4europe]

Watkins MOTM for his general improvement in play, was inconsistent at times but good overall tonight 

Grealish doing grealish things and several other players like mcginn and the defence doing what is now expected of them 

[holteend1982]

Jack grealish is the best player I've ever seen in a villa shirt. 

[Rodders]

Well I haven't watched it, and I admit I didn't see that coming at all. Very impressive and creditable response indeed. Sounds like we were solid and good throughout. Can't wait for MOTD

Fantastic effort - I was worried about Arsenal stepping it up in the second half, but it turns out we did.

We've now beaten Liverpool, Leicester and Arsenal.

Depth will be our undoing, but this is a really well balanced side full of good footballers.

Loving it.

I'm very happy with 5 wins out of 7, I just don't understand why we can't do things the easy way...

Today was done the easy way.  But I know what you mean

Grealish is on another planet to the other 21 players. Simply epic. 

what a win as well, 15 points off 7 games is a helluva return

without a question. absolute legend!

Absolutely superb we are the best attacking team in the league so far. An absolute joy to watch. We were solid at the back again too which was great to see after recent games.

[1974Centenary]

Theirs always room for improvement.

[AvonVillain]

So worth repeating: Villa have won their first 3 away games for the first time EVER.

I'm scratching my head. Getting thrashed by Leeds and Southampton, yet pulling off convincing wins against Liverpool, Leicester and Arsenal. Two of those were away wins too!

We had a combined 4 points against the so-called top 6 + Leicester last season.

We have no reason to fear anyone in this league.

Could the pundits be any more disappointed? FFS, it’s like someone died.

Great performance and will shut up a few people that seemed to write us and Smith off after 2 defeats.

I thought Watkins hold up play and finishing was fantastic.  Mcginn kept disciplined. Barkley and Grealish superb on the ball, Trezeguet working his ass off as always. Defence and keeper solid. We got a little bit lucky with missed changed but thoroughly deserved to win today.  The much better team and could have had a lot more. 

We have no beaten Liverpool, Leicester and Arsenal. We’re not a bad team you know. 

@villalad21 must be gutted.

Nice of Arsenal to go so easy on Martinez. I don’t remember him making a save.
