Saka goal gives Arsenal 1-0 win at Aston Villa
What's new: Bukayo Saka struck in the 59th minute, and Arsenal kept a clean sheet after a VAR review wiped out a penalty.
Arsenal beat Aston Villa 1-0 at Villa Park on Sunday, with Bukayo Saka scoring the only goal in the 59th minute to secure three points. Riccardo Calafiori set up the winner as Arsenal found the breakthrough in a tight match after a scoreless first half. A penalty initially awarded to Arsenal was later overturned after a VAR review, but the visitors still held firm. Villa threatened through Emi Buendia, who hit the bar early, yet Unai Emery's side could not turn its chances into an equalizer. The result gives Arsenal another league win, while Villa were left to rue a disciplined display that produced little end product.
