Bukayo Saka makes Arsenal history with milestone Premier League goal against Aston Villa

Bukayo Saka scored Arsenal's 2,000th Premier League goal at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon, drilling in a delightful left-footed strike on the edge of the box.

The 20-year-old's moment of brilliance gave the Gunners a 1-0 lead against Aston Villa in their pursuit for Champions League football. Manager Mikel Arteta was without first-choice goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for the game after he picked up a knock in training.

Arsenal are just the third team to reach 2,000 goals since the Premier League's inception in 1992. Manchester United have scored the most in the competition's history - 2,176 - while Liverpool (2,002) broke the 2,000 barrier against Brighton earlier this month.
