Arsenal fans celebrate revenge against Aston Villa: Gunners declare war on Manchester City for title

In the second round of the Premier League, Arsenal traveled to face Aston Villa.

Both teams played conservative football in the first half, producing little opportunities.

The hosts got off to a more risky start in the second half creating chances.

In one attack, Ollie Watkins and Onana had opportunities, but their subsequent shots missed the mark by a hair. Duran then made a threat with a shot that narrowly missed the post.

Leandro Trossard, who had just come off the bench, hit a crisp shot to put Arsenal ahead and punish Villa for their squandered opportunities.

Thomas Partey made it 2-0 with a strong long-range goal ten minutes later to complete the victory.

Arsenal has now collected all possible points from their opening two games.

In contrast, Aston Villa has three points from their first two games.

Mikel Arteta has a strong desire to exact revenge on Unai Emery, his rival.

Arsenal was seeking revenge at Villa Park after losing both of their games against them previous season without scoring a goal.

The Gunners got the revenge they wanted and their fans took to social media to celebrate in style.

Wearing their Lagos-inspired away jersey, Troosard did the celebration Mc Ginn did when Aston Villa won last season.
