After his brilliant performance in Arsenal's season opener, Bukayo Saka continued his fine form against Villa.

The England international played 28 accurate passes, earning him a completion rate of 100%. He created two chances and assisted Partey's match-sealing goal. Saka was constant trouble for Villa's defense, having five touches in their box and drawing four fouls.

Saka also helped his team defensively, winning two tackles and seven duels. He certainly looks to have started where he finished last season, and he made that evidently clear with another fine showing against Villa.
