Saka earns Arsenal narrow victory at troubled Villa
Aston Villa remains pointless and without a goal and will be anxious to try and boost its squad ahead of the transfer window closing on Tuesday.
Aston Villa remains pointless and without a goal after a narrow defeat to Arsenal. Bukayo Saka scored the only goal of the game, sliding the ball into a near-empty net from a cutback by Riccardo Calafiori.
The match was a close one, with Villa's Emiliano Buendia hitting the crossbar in the first half and Arsenal being denied a penalty when a foul on Saka was deemed to have occurred outside the box. According to MyJoyOnline Ghana, Kai Havertz forced a save from Villa's debutant goalkeeper Zion Suzuki as Arsenal tried to make the win safe.
The win takes Arsenal to six points, while Aston Villa are still searching for their first goal and first points of the season, having lost a large chunk of last season's team, as reported by the Japan Times and MyJoyOnline Ghana.
