Aston Villa missed a golden opportunity. Bailey, who stole the ball through forward pressure in the 24th minute of the first half, connected the ball to Rogers, and Watkins, who later received a pass from the center of the box, tried to shoot from a one-on-one opportunity. But Watkins' shot went straight to the side of the net. In the 40th minute of the first half, Rogers went deep into the box through a direct breakthrough and attempted a cutback pass, but the pass was caught by Raya and could not be finished with a shot.
Both teams finished 0-0 without scoring in the first half.

Arsenal also had a good chance. In the 19th minute of the second half, Saka faced a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper of Odegaard's ball from the right side of the box, but just before attempting to shoot, the ball was hit by Martinez and left the box.
Arsenal produced the result through replacement. Leandro Trossar, who was put in without Martinelli in the 20th minute of the second half, reached Saka again in the 23rd minute of the second half in an attack that started from Saka, leading to a cutback pass. Saka's pass flowed as it was, heading in front of Trossar, who was penetrating from the left, and Trossa's low and fast shot shook Aston Villa's net as it was.
Arsenal widened the gap by adding a point. In the 32nd minute of the second half, Trossar's cross flowed to Saka on the other side, who gave it to the party in front of the penalty box arc. Partey's low, fast shot went into the corner of the Aston Villa goal.
In the end, Arsenal finished with a 2-0 victory.
