Saka earns Arsenal narrow victory at troubled Villa
Bukayo Saka's second-half goal secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory for Arsenal against troubled Aston Villa in the Premier League on Monday. Arsenal dominated the match without overpowering the resilient Villa side. The Gunners' patient approach was rewarded in the 59th minute when Saka put the ball away from close range. Villa, who once won the Europa League but have struggled since a summer transfer window, came closest in the first half when Emi Buendia's shot hit the crossbar.
This win put Arsenal on six points, tied with Manchester City, Hull City, and Chelsea. Villa remains winless and goalless, and will be looking to bolster their squad ahead of the transfer window closing on Tuesday.
