Thomas Partey scored a pivotal goal as Arsenal secured a dramatic victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park.
The match featured a dramatic display of goalkeeping, with Arsenal’s David Raya making a brilliant save from Ollie Watkins to keep the score level.
In contrast, Villa’s Emi Martinez made a crucial mistake, letting Partey’s shot slip through his grasp and give Arsenal a vital two-goal advantage.
Arsenal had been under pressure, particularly after Watkins missed a prime opportunity earlier in the game.
However, after Raya’s impressive one-handed save from Watkins and a shot from Amadou Onana hitting the crossbar, Arsenal took control.
Leandro Trossard scored with his first touch after coming on, and Partey’s goal 10 minutes later ensured the win for Arsenal.
It was Partey’s first goal of the season, providing a satisfying redemption after Villa’s double victory over Arsenal last season.
