NGiin absolutely scythes partey down, plays advantage doesn't come back for the booking - so infuriating!

Can we say that was a bit of a weak hand from Martinez as well?

Fully deserved

Need to have learned the lesson from Palace, don't let up now. Keep the intensity going, make them fight for it

So have we learnt from Palace. Need to keep the hammer down.

9 shots in the first 25 minutes. So, so much better when we play with this intensity

Lokonga provides cover for Partey to rampage. Ref not spotting Villa niggly fouls.

Lacazette has been a tour de force so far. chasing back every time we lose it and often winning it back and roughing them up

Both Lokonga and Tomiyasu are playing very well

That was a perfect pass from Tavares, 2-0 would've done us a world of good.

MGinn finally in the book. Lokonga pressing high and winning it off him.

It seems like we've realised that Prem refs are the most lenient in the world and will often give the decision to the quicker, faster team rather than the team waving their arms asking for the foul

One thing I like about Tomiyasu is he will use his left foot if the best and quickest option is to use his left foot. Far too often players get themselves in trouble or let themselves get closed down by always wanting it on their preferred foot

Is there a known weakness in Martinez that Arteta has asked the team to exploit? So many taking long shots.

Villa have to change their formation, both our full backs are getting forward at will. Expect them to try and do something about that.

This intensity really should be the baseline for the team. Before the perfect formation, innovative tactics, or playing this player over that player, we need this kind of intensity and drive. If we get that on a consistent basis, we'll be able to play different players in different set-ups and get good results.

Villa playing with wing-backs. The key to getting on top of that system is keeping the two wing backs penned back so they're forced to play a back 5 and also doubling up on their wing back or forcing the wide CB to come out in to wide areas where they aren't comfortable.

Tomiyasu is going really tight on Targett and Saka is pinning him back, and Emile Smith Rowe and Tavares are the out ball on the left which keeps cash pinned back.

If only Lacazette had started in the Palace match. He is not giving the opposition any time to settle.

Close from Partey from a near post corner again - just gets too much on it. Villa are vulnerable from set pieces. They threw away a 2-0 lead to Wolves from conceding from Set Pieces

That's it Ramsdale. Claim those balls.

A bit surprised Aubameyang was allowed to take the rebound, not sure what the rules say but I assume the ref knows.
