LONDON - Unai Emery could justifiably claim he was not given the time he deserved as manager of Arsenal but on Sunday he returned to north London to put a serious dent in his former club's Premier League title hopes by engineering a superb Aston Villa display.

Villa produced the perfect away performance with late goals from Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins securing a 2-0 victory to go with the 1-0 home win his side enjoyed over Arsenal in December.
