Arsenal maintain perfect start to new season as Saka strike beats Villa on Arteta's 250th Premier League game in charge
Arteta's side maintained their 100 per cent record in their title defence on Saturday night thanks to goals from Bruno Guimaraes and Bukayo Saka‚ but it could have been a very different story. The score was 0-0 when Sunderland were awarded a penalty after referee John Brooks adjudged Ezri Konsa to have dragged Dan Ballard to the floor at a Sunderland corner. After a VAR check‚ the decision stood‚ but David Raya dived low to his left to keep out Enzo Le Fee's effort.
Premier League champions Arsenal maintained their perfect start to the season‚ following up their opening-day victory over Coventry with a hard-fought win at Aston Villa. After a cagey first half in which neither side managed a shot on target‚ Bukayo Saka broke the deadlock in the 59th minute. The goal came from a well-worked team move‚ with Eze sliding the ball through the lines for Riccardo Calafiori‚ who flung himself towards the byline and managed to pull the ball back across goal for Saka to bundle it over the line from close range.
TOM COLLOMOSSE AT VILLA PARK: Mikel Arteta left the door open for Arsenal to make a deadline day move for a forward as they continue to monitor Julian Alvarez. The champions recorded their second straight win at the start of their Premier League title defence‚ as Bukayo Saka's second-half goal was enough to seal a 1-0 victory at Aston Villa. Arsenal have pursued Alvarez all summer. The Atletico Madrid forward would like to move to Barcelona but club chiefs have said they will not sell him to their La Liga rivals - opening the door for a potential £130million move.

ISAAN KHAN AT ESTADI MONTILIVI: Arsenal eased their way to a 4-1 victory over Girona in the club's first pre-season match of the summer as they beat Girona on Saturday. In their first match since the Champions League final‚ the Gunners were without the likes of Bukayo Saka and David Raya‚ but could call on stars such as Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres. It was the left wing‚ though‚ that stole the attention.
England and France's footballers put rivalry aside after their 10-goal thriller in Miami on Saturday night to share a poignant moment of unity on the pitch. Seven players from both national sides stood together shoulder to shoulder to form a ring and bow their heads in collective prayer just moments after their World Cup epic. The players involved in the centre circle gathering were England's hat-trick hero Bukayo Saka‚ Arsenal's Eberechi Eze‚ Trevoh Chalobah of Chelsea‚ Marc Guehi of Manchester City‚ Jean-Philippe Mateta and Maxence Lacroix of Crystal Palace and Bayern Munich's Dayot Upamecano.
Gary Neville and Roy Keane have highlighted England's wingers as a major problem at the World Cup amid continued concerns over Bukayo Saka's fitness‚ as they predicted where the Three Lions could be knocked out. Saka has been having a persistent Achilles problem managed by the FA‚ after playing through pain during the run-in for Arsenal at the end of last season. England boss Thomas Tuchel had admitted earlier this month that Saka had been unable to train on consecutive days.
The match in New Jersey ‚ which finished 2-0 thanks in large part to Jude Bellingham's goal and assist for Harry Kane in an improved second half‚ was painfully familiar for England so far at this tournament. Boss Thomas Tuchel cut an angry figure on the sidelines‚ barking orders at Kane just three minutes in‚ and honing in on Rashford and Saka during the first hydration break. For former England striker Shearer there was plenty that was going wrong in the opening 45 minutes but it was Rashford and Saka‚ two of the changes Tuchel made to the starting line-up after the 0-0 draw with Ghana‚ that were the focus of his attention.
