win on Saturday.
Villa had conceded just one league goal in their previous four league
matches but all that changed as Arsenal fired in three inside four
minutes at Villa Park.
The much-criticised Mesut Ozil put the Gunners in front in the 32nd
minute and former Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck scored his
first Arsenal goal two minutes later before Villa's Aly Cissokho
turned the ball into his own net.
Meanwhile Newcastle moved off the bottom of the table and eased the
pressure on under-fire manager Alan Pardew by coming from 2-0 down to
draw 2-2 at home to Hull, with substitute Papiss Cisse scoring both
the Magpies' goals.
Southampton won 1-0 away to a Swansea side who had to play more than
half the match a man down after Ivory Coast striker Wilfried Bony was
sent off.
QPR and Stoke shared the points in a 2-2 draw at Loftus Road while
honours were also even in the goalless draw between Burnley and
Sunderland.
West Ham play Liverpool in Saturday's late kick-off match.
Sunday sees leaders Chelsea looking to maintain their perfect league
record this season away to champions Manchester City.
