A game in which Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger went against his former player and current Aston Villa manager Remi Garde was a little disappointing from an entertainment standpoint, but the job was done by the Gunners who now sit top of the Premier League table after a 2-0 win. A penalty kick was the opener, scored by the red-hot Olivier Giroud, while Mesut Özil found Aaron Ramsey later for the second and final goal of the match. Villa played well from a possession standpoint, but they could not find the final product from the few chances they had. Without further ado, here are the three stars of the match.
Three Stars of the Match: Aston Villa 0-2 Arsenal
