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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some post-bedtime issues to report from last night\u2019s (Sunday\u2019s) late action: at <strong>New Cumberland, W.Va.<\/strong>, back-to-back jacks \u2014 in <strong>Race 2<\/strong>, <strong>#2 Ozzy<\/strong> (.289 Win Prob \/ 2.46-1 Fair Odds \/ 2.94-1 Premium Odds) won it for Australia &amp; Black Sabbath at <strong>$13.20<\/strong>; <strong>next race<\/strong> there, <strong>#1 Black Bety<\/strong> (.191 \/ 4.24 \/ 5.28) won it for Ram Jam &amp; bam-ba-lam at <strong>$13.20<\/strong>; at <strong>Altoona, Iowa<\/strong>, it was <strong>#5 Airo Dinero<\/strong> (.305 \/ 2.28 \/ 2.84) getting the \u2019murrikan cash money in <strong>Race 8<\/strong> at <strong>$9.40<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, some of the races today (Monday) turned-out this way&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <strong>Canandaigua, N.Y.<\/strong>, <strong>#6 Lipan Law<\/strong> (.267 \/ 2.75 \/ 3.49) won <strong>Race 5<\/strong> for Apache jurisprudence at <strong>$13.68<\/strong>; completing your winning <strong>$24.80 exacta<\/strong> was <strong>#4 Early On<\/strong> (.413 \/ 1.42 \/ 1.76), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $19.26.
