Date:

Bukayo Saka scored the only goal of the match as Arsenal defeated Aston Villa 1-0 in the Premier League on Monday night.

The Gunners had lost 2-1 at Villa Park last season and arrived in the Midlands looking to exact revenge.

Mikel Arteta’s men opened their campaign with a 3-0 thrashing of Coventry City, but had to battle for maximum points against Villa.

The first half ended without goals, as both sides failed to record any shot on target.
