This Cedric Soares mistake vs Aston Villa was another poor piece of defending from Arsenal that gifted Ollie Watkins an opener in the 2nd minute of their game earlier today. A misplaced pass from Cedric allowed Villa to pounce and Watkins accepted the gift. Also the first goal conceded by Mat Ryan at Arsenal (the goalkeeper was on debut)

Ryan was making his debut after Bernd Leno had picked up a red card in midweek for handball.
Poor Mat Ryan. Cedric (and even Holding IMO) have possibly given him the unwanted record of becoming the Arsenal goalkeeper to concede the fastest goal on his league debut.
