Unai Emery's first match in charge of Aston Villa produced an impressive 3-1 victory over Manchester United and key to their display was the performance of Jacob Ramsey.

The midfielder was restored to the starting XI by Emery and rewarded the Spaniard's faith in him with a fine display, as he created the opener and produced an excellent finish for Villa's third goal.

Ramsey is one of two Villa players selected by Alan Shearer, the Premier League's record goalscorer and a Hall of Fame inductee, in his Team of the Week.

Emiliano Martinez (AVL)
"Pulled off a couple of outstanding saves and couldn't do a thing about the deflected goal Villa conceded.”

Kieran Trippier (NEW)
"Made several tackles, was always getting forward and produced a fine assist for Joe Willock's goal."

William Saliba (ARS)
"Superb and composed yet again as Arsenal claimed an impressive 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge.”

Ben White (ARS)
"Ensured Chelsea’s attackers endured a frustrating time and combined well with Bukayo Saka at the other end."

Jacob Ramsey (AVL)
"Rewarded Emery's faith in him with a man-of-the-match performance. Man Utd couldn't handle his clever movement."

Bruno Guimaraes (NEW)
"Crowned an eye-catching performance with a wonderful late goal."

Thomas Partey (ARS)
"Another dominant display. He bossed the midfield with his strength and poise."

Joe Willock (NEW)
"His first goal of the season, in the 4-1 win at Southampton, was reward for a quality showing."

James Maddison (LEI)
"Pulled the strings for Leicester City and created both goals in their 2-0 victory at Everton."

Wilfried Zaha (CRY)
"Patrick Vieira is getting the best out of his talisman. Deployed up front he scored the equaliser and laid on the winner.”

Mohamed Salah (LIV)
"Salah's clinical finishing was the difference. Rose to the occasion with two brilliant goals."

Manager: Mikel Arteta (ARS)
"Masterminded a superb London derby win. Arsenal were the better team by a mile as they returned to the top."
