Arsenal beat Wolves to launch Premier League bid

Arsenal got their Premier League campaign underway with a comfortable victory over Wolves at Emirates Stadium.

Kai Havertz headed in a first-half opener for the Gunners from Bukayo Saka’s cross from the right, with the England forward adding their second after the break with a powerful left-foot shot into the right corner after the visitors were caught out by a quickly taken free-kick.

While Arsenal were far from at their best, they always looked in control of the contest and more than merited their win against determined opponents.
