Unai Emery has come under criticism for walking away without shaking Mikel Arteta\u2019s hand after Arsenal beat Aston Villa 4-1.<\/p>\n

The Villa boss had never lost a game at the Emirates Stadium<\/a> as the opposition manager, but that run came to an end on Tuesday night. <\/p>\n

Emery\u2019s tactics of wasting time, slowing the game down and breaking play up gave his side a few chances in the first half, but they were hammered by Arteta\u2019s men after the break.<\/p>\n

The former Arsenal manager<\/a> was clearly not happy, and what some home fans were singing may well be one of the reasons why.<\/p>\n

Be honest. What was your immediate reaction to seeing Unai Emery snub a handshake with Mikel Arteta? <\/p>\n

What Arsenal fans were chanting at Unai Emery during Aston Villa clash<\/p>\n

Unai Emery<\/a> has caused a lot of pain to Arsenal fans over the years. <\/p>\n

Not only did the 54-year-old struggle during his time at the Emirates and produce some terrible football, but he has since achieved some great results against the Gunners as the opposition manager. <\/p>\n

When news emerged that Declan Rice<\/a> would miss the game due to injury, Arsenal fans feared the worst, and there were some worrying signs in the first half. <\/p>\n

However, Arsenal absolutely battered the Villans in the second, and home fans at the Emirates had their fun on Tuesday night. <\/p>\n

After mocking Emiliano Martinez by saying that David Raya is better<\/a>, the supporters turned their attention to their old boss. <\/p>\n

\u201cEmery, what\u2019s the score, Emery, Emery, what\u2019s the score?\u201d could be heard around the Emirates as Arsenal piled the pressure on Villa. <\/p>\n

That is perhaps one of the reasons why Emery snubbed a handshake with Mikel Arteta<\/a> after the game. He was rattled. <\/p>\n

Imagine you are Unai Emery. How would you respond after hearing 60,000 people chant this to you? <\/p>\n

Is this why he didn’t shake Arteta’s hand?\ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta put an end to a ridiculous debate after Arsenal beat Aston Villa<\/p>\n

Arteta is often questioned by fans, and the Arsenal manager has proved people wrong on countless occasions over the last six years. <\/p>\n

Despite that, there are some who feel that Emery is a better manager than Arteta. A few people even claim that the now-Villa boss wasn\u2019t given enough time at the Emirates. <\/p>\n

That is absurd, as Emery\u2019s spell at Arsenal<\/a> was woeful. He deserved to be shown the door after 18 months, and the Gunners were right to replace him with Arteta. <\/p>\n

On Tuesday night, after an emphatic 4-1 victory, the current Gunners boss has ended any debate around him and Emery. <\/p>\n

It is clear as day that Arteta is the better manager. <\/p>\n
