Arsenal are finally on their way in the Premier League this season and the win should give them a huge boost in confidence ahead of next week's trip to Cardiff. Meanwhile, West Ham can hold their heads high after a battling performance but need to start churning out results. They head to Wolves next, with a midweek tie against AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup first up.
Emery gets his first win as Arsenal manager but it was a hard fought game. The Gunners had to rally from behind before taking control in the second period, where an own goal from Diop and Welbeck's goal right at the depth ensured all three points remain in North London.

Aston Villa have appointed Dean Smith as their new head coach, with former England and Chelsea captain John Terry as his assistant. Smith – a lifelong Villa supporter – joins from Championship rivals Brentford and replaces Steve Bruce, who was dismissed on October 3 after a run of one win in nine games left them in the bottom half of the table. Terry, who announced his retirement from playing on Sunday, spent last season with Villa, who have also announced Jesus Garcia Pitarch as their new sporting director. Pitarch has previously been director of football at Valencia and Atletico Madrid in his native Spain.

A Dutch defender at Anfield is considered to be one of the world's finest, but Jamie Carragher feels silverware is required to be the very best Virgil van Dijk is “right in the top group” when it comes to the world’s best defenders, says Jamie Carragher, but the Liverpool star has been told he needs trophies in order to overtake the likes of Real Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos. The arrival of a £75 million ($99m) addition at Anfield in January is considered to have helped turn Jurgen Klopp’s side into serious contenders for major silverware. Liverpool reached the Champions League final last season, before coming unstuck against Madrid, while a Premier League title challenge is being pieced together on the back of an unbeaten start in 2018-19. Van Dijk has played a key role in making the Reds competitive, but the Netherlands international is still lacking the silverware which marks serial winner Ramos and his World Cup-winning club colleague Raphael Varane out as the ver...

Manchester United 0 Valencia 0: Mourinho's men four without a win after limp display

Manchester United have four points from two Champions League games, but their display in a stalemate against Valencia was far from positive. Manchester United have now gone four games without a win in all competitions following Tuesday's 0-0 Champions League draw with Valencia at Old Trafford. Fresh from a humbling week in which they exited the EFL Cup to Derby County and lost 3-1 to West Ham in the Premier League, Jose Mourinho's side produced another lifeless display in their second continental game of the season. A total of just five shots on target being mustered between the two sides over the whole match underlined the lack of attacking quality, with United again unable to get the best out of Alexis Sanchez, restored to the starting line-up after being dropped at the weekend. The result means the Red Devils are second in Group H, two points behind Juventus and three above third-place Valencia, but the manner of the display will do little to ease the pressure on t...
