Arsenal’s bid to win the Premier League title got off to a flying start as they comfortably dispatched Wolves 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium. Bukayo Saka was the architect of the victory, providing the assist for Kai Havertz’s header before securing the points with a trademark finish in the second half.
The Gunners dominated possession from the outset, and their pressure eventually told when Saka’s pinpoint cross found Havertz unmarked in the box. The German international made no mistake, heading home to give Arsenal a deserved lead. Despite their dominance, Arsenal were unable to extend their advantage before the break, with Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa producing a stunning save to deny Jorgen Strand Larsen.
The second half followed a similar pattern, with Arsenal dictating play. Saka’s brilliance was on full display as he cut inside from the right and unleashed a powerful shot into the far corner, leaving Sa with no chance. The goal effectively killed the game as Wolves struggled to create any clear-cut opportunities.
The victory was a positive start for Mikel Arteta’s side, but they face a stern test of their title credentials in the coming weeks. A trip to Aston Villa is followed by tough encounters against Brighton, Tottenham, and Manchester City. Wolves, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from their opening day defeat when they host Chelsea.
