Former Tottenham striker Gary Lineker mocks Arsenal as they slip to a costly 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa to leave Man City top of the table

Former Tottenham striker and Match of the Day host Gary Lineker has poked fun at Arsenal after their damaging 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa.

Mikel Arteta's were hoping to return to the Premier League summit and had been buoyed by Liverpool's loss earlier in the day, but they were undone by goals from Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins.

The Gunners were also looking to dispel any lingering memories of their collapse in the final weeks of last season, when they surrendered a commanding position and finished five-points behind Manchester City.
