Arsenal 2-1 Aston Villa LIVE RESULT: Martinelli secures Gunners victory as both goalkeepers commit Howlers in Premier League

Really happy with the result. It’s so hard to win in this league. I think the first half was one of the best we’ve ever played. We could have scored three, four, five goals.

We didn’t kill the game and it was a struggle in the second half. They challenged us, played very directly and it turned into a transitional game.

Without really allowing them anything, a corner, we concede a goal and it goes on. But the team reacted incredibly well and I think we deserved to win the game.

The audience was great tonight.

We go to Old Trafford, focus on performance, play well and earn the right to win the game.
