How Arsenal beat Wolves
Arsenal finished second in the Premier League in the last two seasons, behind Manchester City. They have started the new season well as they hope to end their 21-year league title drought.
The Gunners dominated Wolves as Saka launched a lobbed cross into the box to Havertz to open the scoring. The German then produced an inch-perfect left-footed winner to make it 2-0.
Getting the ball from Havertz at the right edge of the penalty box, Saka cut inside and unleashed a tracer bullet with his left foot. Meanwhile, for his impeccable work between the sticks, goalkeeper David Raya was declared the Player of the Match.
