London - Mesut Ozil scored a goal and created another in Arsenal's emphatic 5-0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday as the London club earned its biggest Premier League win this season.
Olivier Giroud put the home side ahead in the eighth minute after a sublime backheel pass from Ozil sent the striker through on goal. With only Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan to beat, Giroud chipped it over the onrushing American.
Ozil doubled Arsenal's lead in the 56th, finishing off a quick counterattack by slotting the ball into the low right corner in the midfielder's first league start since returning from injury.
Theo Walcott added a third and his first league goal of the season after exchanging passes with Santi Cazorla before firing inside the far post.
It was Walcott's first league start since returning from a knee ligament injury sustained last season against north London rival Tottenham, which the Gunners face next weekend.
Cazorla converted a penalty after substitute Chuba Akpom was fouled by Guzan, who got a hand to Cazorla's shot and nearly saved it, prompting the goalkeeper to kick a post after the penalty went in.
Hector Bellerin scored a fifth in added time, side-footing from just outside the area after Cazorla's slick pass set up the right back.
It was the first time Arsenal has won three consecutive league matches this season.
