Went to read about the Villa on the BBC Sport website.
It's the 14th story!!

Granada lose to Real Sociedad was 8th.

I think that was a better performance than the Liverpool game.

I dunno about that.
BUT that was the performance we should be aiming for.

Thought Matt Targett played well tonight, good for him.

I have never heard such a glowing review on MotD.

I opened the app, we’re 2nd and 5th.

Thing about Liverpool was that they got back at us a couple of times but we just accelerated away from them. That was a game to go down in Villa history. And Liverpool history

This wasn't quite so dominant. Arsenal did have a couple of chances they might have scored from which could have made some difference, but given the overall performances I think we'd have still have won.

Brilliant all round team performance. Absolutely chuffed with that.

I just can't stop watching it - those 3 goals were all magnificent. To hear Chappers open the punditry on MOTD2 with 'They were absolutely brilliant weren't they, Villa' and then to hear Shearer continue the theme, wow, there's one for the archives. Ian Wright said 'If Villa were walking down the road they'll be John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, they were just IT today'

Seven games, five wins. Happy days.

It required more maturity than the Liverpool game which was throw the kitchen at it where everything clicked. That game at 1-0 could’ve gone either way, someone said (think it was merd) that next goal wins this. That’s why Luiz’s clearing header at 1-0 was vital, we would have struggled to have won that game at 1-1 knowing our mentality.

So to control the game, hit them with pace and power when it mattered with a deadly counter and set up how we did to get the ball back was all in all a better all round performance than Liverpool I agree.

[The Fear]

I can confirm I very much like it when we win games.

 

[The Fear]

Might try being pessimistic more often, seems to work out well!

And so it did!

Olly Watkins

Not only is he goal scorer but his hold up play is sublime

 

[sirdennis]

Those goals..... Just sublime. Brilliant football , I can't work out which one is the best.

Me too, and although Sky Sports focused on a poor performance by Arsenal at least Artetta came out after the game and praised the Villa performance.
Although (rightly) the plaudits will go to Jack and Ollie the performance from McGinn in the game was for me the MOTM performance.

Rumours have it he has just stopped running when the coach arrived back in Birmingham at 01:00

Plucky losers to easy winners in 12 months
