It was not a vintage performance, but goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka ensured a comfortable start to Arsenal’s title-challenging campaign as they beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 at the Emirates in the opening game of the season.

Against a Wolves side which did not let them settle into the game, Arsenal had to work to gain control of the match but laid siege to the visitors’ goal before Havertz’s opener after 25 minutes.

From this point it was far from one-way traffic though with David Raya making a fine stop to deny Jorgen Strand-Larsen a debut goal from a diving header before the break and Wanderers looking the far more dangerous side as the game entered its last third.

However, as always Arsenal retained their threat on the break and Saka’s goal, after a trademark cut inside from the right wing but less usual blast inside the near post, ensured the points would go to Mikel Arteta’s side.

Wolves, who host Chelsea next week, will be buoyed by their performance though, especially given the transitional nature of their personnel which will continue to be in flex before the transfer window.

Goals: K. Havertz 25′, B. Saka 74′
