But it’s true, we are with a level of energy and ambition to have a successful season and we have to show that on the pitch." “Those two players are so pushy and willing to contribute with the team and that is what we done. "When you bring top players, they are coming from top clubs and they have been extremely successful over the years, they’re going to expect that.

They have the squad to challenge and be closer to the title. They last had a longer unbeaten home run in the top-flight between March - August 1992, while they’ve never kept six consecutive home clean sheets in the top division. A mixture of first-team and academy players weren’t discredited in defeats to Liverpool and Manchester United, before drawing against Leeds United. The rest of their recruits seemingly look to be about building depth, with American defender Chris Richards arriving from Bayern Munich, teenager Malcolm Ebiowei plucked from cash-strapped Derby County, and former England goalkeeper Sam Johnstone snapped up on a free.

A Brazilian named Gabriel did indeed open Arsenal’s Premier League account and although it may have been Martinelli who was the match-winner after finishing off a smart set-piece routine, the front line led by Jesus sparkled in this early examination of Mikel Arteta’s side. Another recent arrival - although signed three years apart - was just as key.

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal recap, video: Mikel Arteta's young Gunners got kicked off the 2022-23 Premier League season with a 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park.

Continuing on from the above point, Arsenal were eventually forced to go long with their goal kicks, forcing the Eagles to break them down defensively with four across the back and a pair of defensive midfielders sitting just in front. With all of the Arsenal superlatives out of the way, it must be said that Crystal Palace eventually settled into the game and had ample opportunity to grab a (mostly) deserved equalizer. Again, he was part of everything, but when “everything” amounts to nothing, well… The irony of Arsenal opening the scoring, after such a period of possession play, from a cleverly designed and drilled set-piece routine lands just right. There was plenty of space down the left side of attack, where Ben White admirably filled in for Takehiro Tomiyasu. Arsenal were particularly flustered and threatened when Palace pressed the backline trying to play out of the back. The ability to simply put the ball over the line when the pretty possession isn’t paying dividends has been missing from Arsenal for a number of years.

How the Gunners got on individually in their Premier League clash with the Eagles at Selhurst Park.

Gabriel Martinelli: Showed a poacher's instinct to pop up with his first goal of the season in the box and caused Palace problems with his fluidity in attack. The decision to pass to Martinelli rather than shoot when clean through on goal in the second half stands out as an example of this. Granit Xhaka: Picked up his first yellow of the season for diving but was decent aside from that. Efficient in possession and defensively solid in front of the backline. Oleksandr Zinchenko: An assist on his debut was a highlight for the Ukrainian who looks to have settled in quickly. Did ok when he got forward, but he often had his hands too full with the Ivorian to contribute much to the attack.
