Bukayo Saka’s second-half goal earned Premier League champions Arsenal a narrow victory at Aston Villa, who fell to a second consecutive defeat to start the season despite an improved performance from Unai Emery’s new-look side.
Saka converted Riccardo Calafiori’s low cross as the Gunners clicked into life in attack after the break, with substitute Eberechi Eze involved in the goal after Mikel Arteta brought off Christos Tzolis at half time.
