WHAT HAPPENED? Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring for Arsenal on the half-hour mark before Douglas Luiz gave the away side hope 26 minutes from time. However, Gabriel Martinelli's goal soon after earned the Gunners a win that their dominance deserved.

WHAT THEY SAID: "Of course I do," Gerrard told BT Sport when asked if he was concerned about his future. "I am really honest and critical of myself. If I stood here and said I wasn't concerned I think you'd look at me as though I was from a different planet."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Defeat at the Emirates was Villa's fourth loss in just five Premier League games to start the season. Gerrard was backed heavily in the summer, and if results do not improve, questions will continue to be asked about his future.
