Ian Wright believes there are five "characters" emerging in Arsenal's side after their 1-0 away win against Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon.

Bukayo Saka's first-half goal - the club's 2,000th in the Premier League - was enough to give Mikel Arteta's team all three points. The result leaves Arsenal fourth in the table, four points ahead of Manchester United in fifth with a game in hand.

The Gunners boast one of the youngest sides in the Premier League, with the likes of Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Ben White, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard, Kieran Tierney and Aaron Ramsdale all impressing this term - despite their tender years.

And Wright, who retired as the club's record scorer with 185 goals to his name, believes Arsenal's young guns are establishing an identity. The Gunners haven't always been blessed with strong leaders, one of the main criticisms of the Arsene Wenger era.

"Long may it continue," Wright told DAZN after the Villa win. "We're going to need more goals from other places, as well, but you have to mention the defence. Bernd Leno did fantastically well when he came [into the team] today.

"Villa, obviously, didn't put him under as much pressure as I thought they would. But defensively, midfield - everything was so solid. Arsenal winning games away from home like that is brilliant to see, it's really good to see."
