'El maestro' - Arsenal fans react to Unai Emery's table-topping start to life at Villarreal

Arsenal fans have been reacting to former boss Unai Emery's progress at new club Villarreal.

Emery's Villarreal defeated local rivals Valencia on Sunday thanks to two goals from Dani Parejo, who joined the Yellow Submarine from Valencia in the summer.

And the win was enough to see Villarreal climb to the top of La Liga after six games.

Barcelona and Real Madrid were both stunned by defeats to Getafe and Cadiz respectively on Saturday, opening the door for Emery's men to take top spot with a derby win, and they obliged.

There are teams below them who have played less games and could still move into top spot by winning those games in-hand in the coming weeks.

But nevertheless, it has been a promising start for Emery at Villarreal and Gunners fans have taken notice.

Here's what they have had to say on Twitter.

Villarreal have won three of their first six games, drawing two and losing just one, next going up against newly-promoted Cadiz after a Europa League clash with Sivasspor.

Arsenal and Villarreal could yet meet in the Europa League should both progress from their respective groups. Such a fate would give Emery the chance to get one over on his old club and vice versa for the Gunners.
