Arsenal
began their title defense with a comfortable 3-0 win over Coventry at the
Emirates, thanks to goals from Havertz, Saka, and Ødegaard, who now outscores Cesc
Fàbregas in fewer games.
The £34m Greek forward Tzolis impressed with his direct runs, earning praise from Piers Morgan as a bargain buy and captain Ødegaard for the squad's depth.
Yet questions linger over Gabriel Martinelli's absence from the squad for a second straight game, with reports of tension and Ian Wright calling for respect amid potential transfer talks.
