GALLERY: Villa host Gunners

Aston Villa suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal as Bukayo Saka’s first-half strike proved the difference at Villa Park.

The England international struck the decisive below in the 30^th minute, lashing past Emi Martínez from the edge of the penalty area.

Villa, who had won three of the last four meetings including the previous two on home soil, came close to levelling when Ollie Watkins’ deflected effort struck the outside of a post midway through the second half.
