The early stages felt like a more conventional Saturday lunchtime performance from the visitors. Arsenal pushed forward from the kick-off, pressing high to a point at which they had five players surrounding a Villa player on the ball on the edge of his own penalty area. Saka is the player that you would want playing for your team, one who is developing into a generational talent and is blessed with both an attitude that makes him a positive role model and a genuine love of the club.
Odegaard was clipped on the shin by Mings, who was following through from a defensive a clearance, and then Coutinho clattered into Saka, who reacted angrily and got himself booked. An understandable reaction in the heat of the moment, but still a slightly careless one. Five minutes later, Villa subsitute Leon Bailey galloped down the right and fired in a shot that Ramsdale tipped onto the underside of the crossbar. Gabriel whacked a header over the crossbar when he might have done better.
