Oh no ooh indeed it was a terrifying revenge against Aston Villa from the gunners, Arsenal won by 2 goals to 0 against Aston Villa, the goals was scored by Leandro Trossard and Thomas partey, Arsenal revenge was intensive after remembering their loss at Villa park last season, although Aston Villa performance was not that bad considering the fact that Arsenal team wasn't an easy club to ride on, it is a good start for Arsenal this season for winning two straight matches without conceiving any goal, just as they also defeated wolves by 2 goals to 0 last week.

Previously Aston Villa was the team that continued to prevent Arsenal to be championship but today Arsenal has succeeded in avenging the defeat they suffered last season, Since the match started, Arsenal immediately tried to suppress Aston Villa defense, but the solidity of Aston Villa's defense and also Arsenal poor finishing made both teams had to end the first half with a score of 0-0, Aston Villa suffered a defeat in that match but actually the game shown by Aston Villa so extraordinary that it made Arsenal defense and David Raya work very hard to protect their goal from being conceder , losing 2-0 is clearly a bad result but not with Aston Villa's appearance and performance in that match, if I could choose the two best players in today match then I would choose Raya and saliba a heroes from Arsenal victory.

Fantastic saves from Saliba and David Raya

A lot of people underestimated us and look at Arsenal now am sure even Manchester City will be mindful of us this season i know people will be like this what Arsenal fans are always saying but believe me this season is going to be different and this is the time we are going to win the title, I have a good feeling that something is going to be distinct about this season. last season Aston Villa was a matching opponent that was given almost everyone difficulty and even stopped us from winning the title last season so now it is a clear warning that there won't be any obstacle for us this season. In the first half, I was already scared that they wouldn't be a goal, and look at the surprise Arsenal did to them during the second half. I know a lot of anti arsenal will already be happy that we are not going to win especially Chelsea and Manchester United fans, we would have given them 4:0 instead but let us reserve the goals for the next match.

😂 When you said Arsenal's revenge was intensive after remembering their loss at villa Park last season, that cracked me up, like did you speak with Arsenal and they told you that their win against Aston Villa today was a retaliation for their loss to them at Villa park last season? 😁

Anyways, a big congratulations to Arsenal, and yeah, this is their second win in a roll this season, and they have not conceded any goals yet, which actually beat Manchester city that played against ipswich town today and conceded 1 goal before they (Manchester city) retaliated and score 4 goal to beat their rival.

Matches played today where fantastic, Aston Villa played a good game against Arsenal though, but then, the Arsenal players were too determined to win the match, and I am happy that their hardwork payed off for them at last.

The defeat suffered by Manchester United of course surprised many people but not for me, because in the last few seasons Brighton has been a team that often gives Ten Hag nightmares,

At first I wanted to critise Manchester united more but after seeing that on their 15 meetings, Brighton has 7 wins and Manchester united 8 wins without draw. So this is quite understandable but that doesn't mean they don't deserve much criticism. To me the first goal they conceded  was disappointing to the player who was at the defense when Welbeck did tip the ball to the goal, I didn't see the other goal ls and I can't say any other players were at fault also.

although currently Ten Hag has brought in several new players, but the defeat against Brighton indicates that They are still not strong enough and compact enough, defense was previously Manchester United main problem, but if we look at today match, seem Manchester United has not fixed this problem even though they have brought De Light and Mazraoui into their squad.

While after these new signing I didn't expect Manchester united to be having difficulty against Brighton this season, Ten Hag did spoke before (probably before the league started) that this new signings adapted to the club, I guessed they need s little more time though Mazraoui did well providing an assist today.

Btw, I saw McTominay played in that match, Isn't it reported that he is currently in the process of moving to Napoli?
Jadon Sancho isn't even in the Manchester United squad, what this indicate he will leave for Juventus?

McTominay might still be on his way out if any club van meet Manchester united asking fee while Jadon Sancho might just be on his way out probably through loan if Manchester united fee is unable to be meet because this is the reason both players are still a Manchester united players after interest from other clubs

Brighton really played amazingly in the second half, even though Diallo managed to make the score 1-1 again, it did not dampen the spirits of the Brighton players. Garnacho managed to score a goal in the 70th minute, but the referee disallowed it because his shot hit Joshua Zirkzee foot who was in an offside position. Brighton's winning goal was scored by Joao Pedro in the 90+5 minute, Manchester United lost dramatically 2-1 in this match.

Manchester United recent results are a warning sign for Ten Hag, the EPL has just entered its second week but Manchester United has already suffered its first defeat this season. If it continues like this, there is very little chance for Manchester United to finish in a better position at the end of the season.

Because when kick off starts to see Bruno Fernandes in the striker's position is quite funny In my opinion to finish in the top 5 is quite difficult.

There's nothing surprising about seeing Bruno Fernandes as a striker. This is because Ten hag did like to do various experiments for his club. Or it's probably Zirkzee who has a problem with his fitness; then, Ten Hag decided to put him in the second half instead of giving him a chance to play full time.

Also, the decision to replace Bruno with Tominay was terrible. I'd prefer to see Bruno back in his actual position. It's bad to see how Bruno Fernandes contributed nothing when he was placed as a striker. Lastly, i hope ten Hag brings him back to his actual position, and I'd prefer Rashford to play as ST if we need an urgent one instead of Bruno.

Good God! That was terrible. Even a juvenile could see that was a wrong decision to made by Erik ten Hag. If you saw that game, you'd see that the midfied lacked energy and Kobbie Mainoo was already booked. Erik ten Hag should have substituted brought in Scott MC Tominay for Kobbie Mainoo and return Bruno Fernandez back to him number 10 role.

Wrong selections from the first half and wrong decisions from the manager lead to that lose. He has taken responsibility for that yesterday. Hopefully he shapes well against Liverpool otherwise, the media will be banging hard on him.

Can they stop playing Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire? Marcus Rashford should grow up, hes no longer 21 or 23 he's gonna be bloody 27 for goodness sake soon. Harry Maguire with the highest pay as a defender and he cannot do a proper defensive job for Manchester United.
