Arsenal open title defence with comfortable win over Coventry

The new Premier League season kicked off with defending champions Arsenal delivering a convincing performance on home turf. The Gunners defeated Coventry City 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium in their opening fixture of the campaign.

Three different players found the net for Arsenal — Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard all scored. The result gives the club a strong start as they begin the defence of the title they won last season.

For Coventry City, the match marked a return to the English top flight, but the promoted side could not match Arsenal's quality in their first outing back among the elite.

With this victory, Arsenal launch their title defence with a maximum haul of points, signalling their intent to fight for the championship again this season.
