Arsenal secured a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park, with second-half goals from Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey. Substitute Trossard scored with his first touch in the 67th minute, followed by Partey’s long-range effort ten minutes later. Villa had multiple chances, particularly through Ollie Watkins, but failed to capitalize, with Watkins missing two key opportunities and David Raya making a critical save. This win avenged last season's losses to Villa, which had impacted Arsenal's title chances. Arsenal now have two wins from their first two games, indicating a strong start to their Premier League campaign.
