Villa downed the Gunners.

Aston Villa stunned Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium Ian Wright accused one Arsenal star of ‘switching off’ during the deflating 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa. Arsenal’s Premier League titles hopes were dealt a major blow on Sunday as Unai Emery came back to the Emirates Stadium to haunt the Gunners. Emery’s Villa proved tricky opponents for the title challengers and scored two late goals through Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins to stun the Emirates into silence.

Mikel Arteta’s side dropped crucial points in the title race ‘Look at Martinelli, this is what we’ve been saying because Arsenal have been so good defensively this season,’ Wright said. ‘Everyone has been switched on but in this instance he switches off. Bailey is his man, that’s his man in this situation. He has to get closer to him, it’s as simple as that. ‘Arsenal gave Villa too many opportunities late on and they took them. Martinelli switches off at the back post. He realised too late.
