Arsenal smashed Aston Villa, especially in the second half, of their Premier League clash at the Emirates on Tuesday.

The match was a fierce battle, with several questionable decisions from referee Darren England, and Villa boss Unai Emery added to the controversy at the end by not waiting to shake hands with Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta.

Perhaps it’s worth mentioning that Emery was Arteta’s predecessor at Arsenal.

Arteta, however, does not hold a grudge.
