Arsenal Redeems Itself Against Aston Villa with a 2-0 Victory

Arsenal secured a valuable 2-0 win against hosts Aston Villa in the second round of the English Premier League on Saturday. The London team claimed the three points with two second-half goals. Belgian Leandro Trossard opened the scoring in the 67th minute, just seconds after coming on as a substitute.

Midfielder Thomas Partey added the second goal in the 77th minute with a shot from the edge of the penalty area.

This win raises Arsenal’s points tally to 6, giving them a perfect record so far, putting them level with Brighton and defending champions Manchester City, while Aston Villa remains on 3 points.
