Ratings & Reactions: Arsenal v Villa

[Stratvillan]

Better performance than liverpool.  that ball by Luiz!

[nick76]

Quality from start to finish.  

Credit to all players tonight, Dean and the coaching staff

Never looked anything but a comfortable Villa win.

Great reaction to the last two games....delighted tonight!

Simply a joy to watch.

Grealish is now world class. He would get in any team in the world.

[Talldarkandransome]

Great performance, high press when we didn't have the ball and even when 3 up we didn't sit back, I like that. Clean sheet too..

Grealish with another top class performance, doubt Southgate saw it which is fine by me

[maqroll]

Brilliant result. Dominating from the start. Incisive play from SJM, Trez, Barkley and Jack. The whole team played well.

Massive 3 points away to a good side, a clean sheet (Martinez must be floating right now)

Good tally to add to our goal difference. Positive vibes entering the break.

Oh yeah, we still have a game in hand!

UTV!

I thought we'd get 5 before the game but alas not to be. We bullied them. Sloppy first half thankfully they got a rocket and we totally mauled them in the second. Could and should have been 5/6 I hope we don't lose the title on goal difference. Lol. Can we stop complaining about the like of Cash , Barkley et Al. 

They're young and getting used to each other they'll make mistakes and be inconsistent. Watkins was poor first 15 but then his hold up was sublime not even going to mention the goals they was sexy like. 

[It's Your Round]

I missed parts of the first half but that second half was brilliant. Grealish is one hell of a player! Watkins’ finishing ain’t half bad either. One thing that the last five games has taught me, when McGinn and Barkley are on form, we’re unstoppable. When they’re not at it, we don’t function. 
 

Up to sixth and just 3 points behind Leicester. Come on Villa!

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

He made a goal with a sublime catch come throw !

[Sulberto21]

P.S I thought mason mount was sensational.

[Django_Zooms]

The referee did not so much blow the final whistle early - minus most of the 5 minutes due from those wasted between the 1st & 6th on VAR - as put Arsenal out of their misery early.

[Brumstopdogs]

Looking forwards to hearing the Arsenal meltdowns!

[richp999]

So beat Brighton in 2 weeks we are top of the league. 

This is a bit better than last year.

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

We were different class.

I'm loving these Sunday 7pm games

[maqroll]

Arsenal were so bad we hardly heard Konsa or Targett's name called. 

Toothless, toothless Arsenal

[Giro]

That performance was better than Liverpool!

[romavillan]

12 points clear of the bottom 3 with a game in hand

We're not the finished article, we have no strength in depth, we still make a lot of mistakes but when we can now play some very very nice incisive attacking football and on our day we'll do you. Whoever you are.

[AV82]

All is good again in the world and Jack Grealish is world class. I love you all my Villa brothers and sisters.

[Jareth]

How very pleasing
