The team of coach Mikel Arteta lost on Wednesday at Liverpool’s own stadium (0-2). Arsenal had won all five league games before that.
Arsenal managed to score another win against Aston Villa thanks to Bukayo Saka. After a free kick, after half an hour of play, the ball finally landed on the edge of the sixteen-meter area in front of the feet of the midfielder, who hit with the left. It marked the 2000th goal for Arsenal in the Premier League. Only Manchester United (2176 goals) and Liverpool (2002 goals) were more accurate at the highest level in England.
