Missed The Match? Watch & Download Aston Villa 0 – 3 Arsenal (All Goals Highlights)
Aston Villa went into this game believing they could go top of the league with a victory. They came out of it chastened, their presumption mercilessly exposed, grateful only that they had not been asked to play against Borussia Dortmund.
So comprehensively outplayed in midweek, a transformed Arsenal indulged in a little bullying of their own to put Villa’s best Premier League start for 16 years into perspective. The record books will show that three first-half goals in the space of just over three minutes put the game beyond the home side’s reach, and that would have been remarkable enough after an evenly matched first half-hour that produced little goalmouth incident.
In fact Arsenal’s ambush was even more stealthily surprising than that. Two goals in two minutes ended the contest with an hour still to play, stunning the home crowd into silence as much through the identity of the scorers as the precision of their finishing. Mesut Özil practically invites criticism, and has been getting it in spades since the Dortmund defeat, through not even appearing interested in his team’s fortunes or his personal contribution.
