Aston Villa 0-2 Arsenal: Raya makes the save, Trossard makes the difference

Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video

Arsenal came away from Villa Park with all three points after what was strange old game yesterday. It could easily have gone the other way, with Ollie Watkins unlikely to have had a good night’s sleep, but it didn’t – thanks to an incredible David Raya save, and a hugely impactful substitute performance from Leandro Trossard.

Mikel Arteta made one change from the side that beat Wolves, Jurrien Timber coming in at left back ahead of Oleksandr Zinchenko.
