Arsenal made a strong statement in their opening match, defeating Wolves with a dominant performance that showcased their title ambitions.
Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and David Raya, who all played in the Euro 2024 final just 34 days ago, were instrumental in the win, demonstrating their willingness to get back to work quickly.
Manager Mikel Arteta praised his players’ mentality, saying they were already preparing for the season while on holiday. This dedication has set the tone for the rest of the team, as Arsenal pressed Wolves into submission, ultimately forcing them to concede.
The win marks a positive start to Arsenal’s title bid, and Arteta believes this is just the beginning.
With Manchester City facing injuries and lack of pre-season minutes for key players, Arsenal’s early form could give them an edge in the title race. Pep Guardiola has already acknowledged Arsenal’s intentions to challenge for years to come, and this performance has sent a clear message to their rivals.
