Thomas Partey scored a crucial goal as Arsenal clinched a thrilling win against their tricky opponents, Aston Villa, at Villa Park. The game was a dramatic showcase of goalkeeping, with Arsenal's David Raya making a stunning save from Ollie Watkins to keep the score level. In contrast, Villa's Emi Martinez made a costly error, allowing Partey's shot to slip through his hands and give Arsenal a crucial two-goal lead. Arsenal had been on the back foot, especially after Watkins missed a prime chance earlier in the match. But after Raya's superb one-handed save from Watkins and a shot from Amadou Onana hitting the bar, Arsenal took control.
