Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park, marking their second consecutive win in the Premier League season. The match remained goalless at halftime, with both teams missing key opportunities. Arsenal's goalkeeper, David Raya, made a crucial save to deny Ollie Watkins, maintaining the clean sheet. Leandro Trossard, who came on as a substitute, scored the opening goal with his first touch, giving Arsenal the lead. Arsenal's defense, led by William Saliba, held firm to prevent any Villa comeback. Mikel Arteta's instructions to 'make it difficult for them' were effectively executed by the team. This win is significant for Arsenal as they had lost twice to Villa last season. The victory also highlights Arsenal's strong start to the season, having won both of their opening matches without conceding a goal.
