Arsenal opened the defence of their Premier League title with a comfortable 3-0 win over newly promoted Coventry City at the Emirates Stadium. The victory gives the champions a strong start to the new campaign, with goals coming from three key attacking players in a dominant home performance against the top-flight newcomers.

Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were on the scoresheet as Arsenal made light work of Coventry in their season opener. The result underlines the gulf between the reigning champions and a Coventry side adjusting to Premier League football for the first time.
