That is all we have time for on Tribe as Arsenal win at Villa Park in impressive style. I have been Elliot Thompson and thank you for joining me. Join us tomorrow on Tribe for more Premier League action as Newcastle face Bournemouth and Chelsea take on Wolves before Liverpool host Brentford.
Next up for Aston Villa is an away game next weekend on Saturday as they face Leicester City. For Arsenal, it is a home game on Saturday as they have the early kick-off against Brighton so it will be another tough challenge.
Aston Villa will be bitterly annoyed at that result as they had two incredible chances to take the lead. They both fell to the man they would have wanted it to as well as Watkins. His first shot in the first half was around eight yards out as he slotted the ball just wide of the left post. In the second half, he had a rebound from around six yards out after Onana's shot came off the bar. Somehow Raya managed to dive to his left to get a mammoth hand parrying the ball off the line. Martinez will be disappointed with himself for the second goal but at that point Arsenal seemed to be in full control.
ARSENAL MANAGE TO GET REVENGE ON UNAI EMERY! What a win that is for Arsenal. Even though it is only two games, this could be massive for their title challenge. The Gunners didn't manage one point against Aston Villa last season but they have already managed to beat them away from home in this one. The game was a slow burner with both sides struggling to work each other out. However, Arteta's change made the difference as he took Martinelli off for Trossard. With one of his first touches, he found the back of the net with an instinctive finish. He was involved in the second goal build-up and fizzed a cross from the left wing to find Saka on the right. He pulled it back to Partey who squeezed a shot beyond Martinez into the bottom right corner. So it is six points from six for Arsenal after an impressive victory at Villa Park!

SHOT! Nedeljkovic crosses in to the back post. Maatsen retrieves the ball before it goes out for a throw. He passes it infield to Barkley who has some space on the edge of the area. Barkley strikes on his right foot but his effort flies well over the bar.
