Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park on Saturday, continuing their perfect start to the Premier League season. Goals from Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey in the second half sealed the win for Mikel Arteta’s side, avenging last season’s double defeat to Villa.
Aston Villa had the better chances in the first half, with Ollie Watkins missing two key opportunities, including a point-blank header denied by a spectacular save from Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya. Despite Villa’s early dominance, Arsenal weathered the storm and broke the deadlock in the 67th minute when substitute Trossard found the net just two minutes after coming on.
Ten minutes later, Thomas Partey doubled Arsenal’s lead with a composed finish from the edge of the box, securing all three points for the visitors. The win marked a significant psychological boost for the Gunners, who had struggled against Villa last season.
Mikel Arteta praised his team’s resilience and ability to find a way to win in a difficult environment. The result keeps Arsenal on track for a serious title challenge as they aim to build on last season’s progress.
