Arsenal keep kicking off

There were chants of “sack this morning” at Villa boss Gerrard from Arsenal fans during the visitors’ miserable first-half display. His side improved after the break, but with four defeats from five games this season and just three wins in their last 16 in the league, Villa need a boost.

Villa’s worst start in 25 years

Aston Villa have lost four of their opening five league games in a campaign for the first time since 1997-98 (also 4/5). They slipped into the relegation zone with this defeat and next up for them is a free-scoring Manchester City at Villa Park on Saturday Night Football. “I don’t like the way the table looks,” Gerard said afterwards. “I think it’s only natural that the pressure builds. I was asked that question after the weekend in terms of the reaction of the Villa fans and I take it on my shoulders. I take full responsibility for that and I won’t shy away from anything.” As for Arsenal, they travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United on Super Sunday, where they will be looking to back up that impressive start with a statement result against a ‘big six’ opponent.

Team news

Arsenal made one change from the team that beat Fulham on Saturday, with Albert Sabi Lokonga coming into midfield for the injured Mohamed Elneny. Aston Villa made four changes after their defeat at home to West Ham, with Amy Buendia, Tyrone Mings, Leon Bailey and Jacob Ramsey coming on and Philippe Coutinho, Danny Ings, Douglas Luiz and Calum Chambers dropping to the bench.

Against Villa they once again showed their mix of brilliant attacking play and their ability to fight for victory. Already this season at the Emirates they have had to respond quickly to Leicester goals and a setback against Fulham, and it was the same story on Wednesday night after they really should have taken advantage of a first half that saw them score seven times. .

Jesus the record holder

Gabriel Jesus has been involved in six goals in his first five Premier League appearances for Arsenal (3 goals, 3 assists), a record for a player in their first five games for the Gunners, breaking Mesut Ozil’s record (5). That combination of waste, good goalkeeping from Martinez and desperate defending from the visitors left a glimmer of hope for Villa and Luiz’s special set piece looked to have turned things around for them. But 151 seconds later, Martinelli completed another standout display with his third of the game to the delight of a home support relishing their role as the Premier League’s pacesetters.

Arteta praises Arsenal’s mentality

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta: “We’re winning football games that we deserve to win with the way we’re playing and playing. We’ve got to keep going. The way we’re playing in the first half, with a lot of chances is really pleasing as a manager. “It’s the most difficult thing in football to score goals, but today we had great chances that we didn’t waste. Martinelli’s goal is a difficult technique and he managed to hit the target and that gives you a chance. “That’s the mentality we want to show as a team, to react immediately to disappointments. When you play in front of this crowd, it helps because the energy they generate is just amazing.”

Frustrated Gerard: We shot ourselves in the foot

Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard: “We worked so hard to stay at Arsenal, throwing bodies on the line to keep the ball out of our goal. We made a moment’s mistake, we could have gone quicker to Martinelli. But Arsenal certainly deserved to be ahead at half-time. Our technical level was miles away. I asked for improvement and we grew in the second half, we passed the ball better, our confidence grew and Douglas delivers a moment of magic and we take the game exactly where we want it. Then we go and shoot ourselves. Someone has acres of space in an area that shouldn’t have acres of space. “If we keep getting important moments wrong defensively, we’ll keep conceding. We work every day, we talk about it most days. To show Martinelli on his left foot, to show Saka on his right foot… we have to to someone with full throttle… It’s really frustrating messages that don’t seem to get through. On Villa’s league position: “The league table doesn’t look the way I want it to look, not the way our fans want it to look and that’s why it was very important and important to come here and get something. But I’m well aware of where we are and I don’t I like the look of the table I’m sure my players and fans don’t like it. “Well, we all have to stick together. I think it’s only natural that the pressure builds. I was asked that question after the weekend in terms of the reaction of the Villa fans and I take it on my shoulders. I take full responsibility for that and I won’t avoid anything “I’m going to keep trying to move it forward the best I can until I’m told otherwise. “But in terms of being concerned with how the table looks, of course I am. I’m human.”
