Arsenal are currently locked in Premier League action with Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

The Gunners headed into the game looking to bounce back from a rare loss, which they suffered at the hands of Liverpool on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Villa, though, were expected to prove a much sterner test. And with Manchester United not in action this weekend \u2013 plus 6th place West Ham and 7th place Tottenham facing off on Sunday \u2013 Saturday\u2019s match was a great chance for Mikel Arteta and co. to put some distance between themselves and the top-four chasing sides.<\/p>\n

So far, the north Londoners are on course to do exactly that.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Saka makes Arsenal history<\/h2>\n

Arsenal would completely dominate the first 45 minutes of action, penning Villa back in their own half and creating a number of chances.<\/p>\n

Arteta\u2019s side would eventually take the lead on Saturday after half an hour.<\/p>\n

A scramble in the box saw the ball fall to Bukayo Saka, who smashed his effort through a crowd of players and past former teammate Emiliano Martinez:<\/p>\n
