Saka steals the spotlight as Arsenal begin title pursuit

Date:

Bukayo Saka delivered an outstanding performance to lead Arsenal to a 2-0 victory over Wolves in their Premier League season opener.

Arsenal kicked off the season in impressive fashion, securing a comfortable win at the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta’s side began strongly, with Ben White and Bukayo Saka each missing a few chances, while Saka managed to test goalkeeper José Sá twice.

However, the goalkeeper was partially to blame for Arsenal’s opening goal, as Kai Havertz beat him to Saka’s teasing cross to head home.

The hosts spurned opportunities to double their lead before halftime, but Wolves had a chance to equalize when David Raya made a brilliant save to deny Jorgen Strand Larsen’s header.

Despite serious pressure from Wolves, Saka saved the day with a fine with an important second for the hosts.

He and Havertz combined again with the Englishman cutting inside before firing into the near post.

Arsenal’s rock-solid defense, which was the league’s best last season, continued to impress, securing another clean sheet and bolstering their hopes for another title challenge.
