Bukayo Saka scored the decisive second-half goal as Premier League champions Arsenal defeated Aston Villa 1-0 at Villa Park on Monday night to keep their 100% start to the season intact.
Marking Mikel Arteta’s 250th Premier League match as Gunners manager, Arsenal produced a controlled performance to secure back-to-back clean-sheet victories.
The breakthrough arrived in the 59th minute when second-half substitute Eberechi Eze unlocked Villa's defense, feeding Riccardo Calafiori whose low cross was turned home by Saka.
Newly signed defender Ezri Konsa made his Arsenal debut off the bench against his former club following a £51 million summer transfer, while Unai Emery’s depleted Villa side suffered a second straight defeat following major squad overhauls.
"In a statement of intent to their title rivals, Mikel Arteta’s side have taken maximum points from their opening two games without conceding a goal." — Match Analysis
