Saka goal gives Arsenal narrow win at Aston Villa
–
Neutral summary
Arsenal beat Aston Villa 1-0 away in the second round of the Premier League, with Bukayo Saka scoring the only goal just before the hour mark after an assist from Riccardo Calafiori. The champions maintained their perfect start to the season, moving to six points alongside Manchester City, Hull City and Chelsea. Aston Villa, who lost 4-0 to Brighton in their opener, remain pointless and goalless. Mikel Arteta praised his side’s “finishers” after the hard-fought victory at a ground where they lost last season.
