Gunners Goes Top, City Wins, United Disgraced

Arsenal once again are topping the Premier League after another comprehensive away performance that also left Aston Villa continuing to stare into the abyss.

Olivier Giroud found the net again following his feats of Athens, as Aaron Ramsey scored the second, becoming the latest recipient of Mesut Ozil’s ability to provide. Ozil now has 13 Premier League assists and is well within range of Thierry Henry’s record of 20 set in 2004-05. This result puts Arsene Wenger’s side above Leicester and Manchester City to the summit of this perplexing Premier League.  Arsenal came into the game in a buoyant mood following their remarkable victory at Olympiacos but it was Villa began brightly with Scott Sinclair firing a shot at Petr Cech on six minutes but still fell behind early. Arsenal got a penalty which Giroud converted for the first goal before Ramsey sealed the victory for the Gunners.

Manchester United poor form continues as they lost against AFC Bournemouth on Saturday. United went into this game with the hopes of getting the pain of losing out of the Champions League out of their system but once again LVG and his boys were not impressive as the match ended 2-1. Manchester City also got a scare when Swansea equalizer but a Yaya Toure shot which came off Nigeria Kelechi Iheanacho made sure the Citizens were the victor.  Newcastle came from behind to defeat Tottenham as Odion Ighalo was Watford hero against Sunderland.
