Ghana international Thomas Partey sealed Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Aston Villa with a great long-range strike.

The Black Stars captain played a crucial role as the Gunners recorded two goals in ten minutes and made it two wins from two in the Premier League this season.

Substitute Leandro Trossard made Unai Emery's side rue their missed chances in the 68th minute when he was on hand to fire home past Emi Martinez just two minutes after entering the fray.

The 31-year-old controlled the ball before firing a shot that slipped past Emiliano Martinez, per BT Sports.

The Argentina goalkeeper managed to get a hand to it but failed to keep it out as the ball found the back of the net, securing the win for Arsenal.

Saka was unlucky not to add his second goal of the season, as his first-half shot was thwarted by an outstanding save from Martinez.

Although he didn’t find the net himself, the Arsenal winger was instrumental in both of the visitors' goals at Villa Park.
