Bukayo Saka scored the only goal as Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa in the English Premier League this morning.
The defending champions made it two wins from two to maintain their perfect start to the new season, while Villa have now lost both of their opening matches.
Arsenal controlled much of the possession but struggled to create clear-cut opportunities in the first half as the teams went into the break locked at nil-all.
Saka finally broke the deadlock in the 59th minute, finishing from close range after Riccardo Calafiori delivered a low ball into the box.
The Gunners held on for the three points despite late pressure from Villa.
The victory takes Arsenal to six points alongside Manchester City, Hull City and Chelsea, with the four teams separated by goal difference.
Manchester City currently leads the Premier League standings with 6 points, followed by Arsenal, Hull City and Chelsea.
