Reaction from Mikel Arteta at Villa Park on Monday after his Arsenal side beat Aston Villa 1-0 in the English Premier League.
Bukayo Saka got the only goal of the game in the 59th minute for the Champions, who added to their opening 3-0 win over Coventry City to make it two wins out of two so far in their title defence.
In contrast, Villa have lost their first two matches and Arteta's opposite number, Unai Emery, has a job on his hands to re-shape a team that lost a series of star players from last season's squad in the transfer window.
One of them, England defender Ezri Konsa, came on to make a successful second-half debut for the Gunners against his former club - and he received a respectful reaction from the home fans.
