Gunners gone in 60 seconds

Aston Villa 1 Arsenal 2

In a fairly even match between one in the mid-table of the Premier League and one who are now top, Jack Wilshere put Arsenal ahead on 35 minutes before capitalising on a Fabian Delph error to play in Olivier Giroud for the second less than a minute later.

It was the Gunners at their clinical best, Aston Villa at their defensive worst. One side taking their chance to go top, the other making far too many mistakes to convince people they will not be dragged into a relegation battle this term.
