Arsenal regained their Premiership lead thanks to two Quickfire goals from Wilshere and Giroud helped them cruise to a 2-0 lead at halftime. But Aston Villa came out inspired in the second half and pulled a goal back, however a resilient Arsenal side managed to hold on to their slender lead despite looking sloppy at times.
Here are some of the best tweets that came out after the game, starting with the tweets from Ramsey:
Great goals by Jack and Giroud, get in there!!!!

Well done lads, had to hold on at the end but did well to see it out. Great to see Chambo make his comeback too. Night everyone!
