The final match of Week 2 of your 2026-27 English Premier League season took place today with your No. London Arse traveling to the midlands for the always tricky challenge presented by Aston Villa at Villa Park. It was goalless at the end of the first half and for nearly a quarter of an hour at the start of the second half. But almost at the stroke of the hour-mark, starboy/starman/talisman Bukayo Saka found Riccardo Calafiori’s sliding cross arriving on-time at his right boot at the mouth of the Villa goal, and he slotted home at the near post to give the visitors their famous 1-nil to The Arsenal scoreline and all three points for the win. Two goals in two games for Saka, and two wins in two matches so far for the Gunners, who have yet to concede a goal. As always, #COYG.
