Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at home to kickstart their latest Premier League campaign. Goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka ensured the points for Mikel Arteta's team, who are viewed as strong contenders to challenge Manchester City's dominance.

Havertz found the net with a header from Saka's cross in the 25th minute. The hosts, however, faced some nervy moments until Saka sealed the win with a clinical finish late in the game. Wolves had opportunities, particularly through Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rodrigo Gomes, but failed to capitalize.

The Emirates Stadium atmosphere was relaxed, contrasting sharply with the tense ending of last season where Arsenal narrowly missed their first English title in two decades. Wolves, featuring debuts for new signings Jorgen Strand Larsen and Gomes, saw plenty of the ball but failed to pose significant threats. Saka, Arsenal's standout player, iced the game with a left-footed strike past Jose Sa.
