Bukayo Saka put on an outstanding display to help Arsenal defeat Wolves 2-0 in their Premier League season opener.
Arsenal too good for toothless Wolves
Arsenal began the season in excellent form, earning a comfortable 2-0 win over Wolves at the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta's men started strongly and Ben White and Bukayo Saka missed a couple of chances each, with Saka testing Jose Sa twice.
However, the goalkeeper was partially to blame for Arsenal's opening goal, as Kai Havertz beat him to Saka's teasing cross to head home.

The hosts spurned opportunities to double their lead before halftime, but Wolves had a chance to equalize when David Raya made a brilliant save to deny Jorgen Strand Larsen's header.
Despite serious pressure from Wolves, Saka saved the day with a fine with an important second for the hosts.
He and Havertz combined again with the Englishman cutting inside before firing into the near post.
Arsenal's rock-solid defence, which was the league's best last season, continued to impress, securing another clean sheet and bolstering their hopes for another title challenge.
