Gabriel shines at both ends as Arsenal ease past Everton to go level with Man City

Nicolas Jackson scored a well-taken double for Aston Villa, bringing an end to Manchester City's 100% start to the Premier League season. City had secured maximum points from their first seven league games, but their winning streak came to an end against Villa, who have been particularly strong in recent meetings with the Red Devils.

This victory marked Villa's fifth win in their past seven encounters with City, a fourth consecutive win at Villa Park, and came on the fourth anniversary of Unai Emery's appointment as Villa boss. Villa captain John McGinn capitalized on a poor touch by City defender Marc Guehi to set up Jackson, who then finished the move by heading the ball high into the net past Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Villa's Erling Haaland also hit the post during the match as they pressed for an equaliser, which eventually came in the second half when Haaland headed in Ndiaye's cross. However, Villa's lead lasted only eight minutes as Jackson met substitute Ibrahim Mbaye's low cross with a first-time shot that went in underneath Donnarumma's left hand.

City's lead at the top of the Premier League remains at three points, with Arsenal set to host Everton at 15:00 BST, while Villa have climbed into the top half of the table.
