Arsenal began their 2022-23 English Premier League season with a 2-0 victory over London rivals Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Friday night.
Gabriel Martinelli gave the Gunners the lead in the first-half before they doubled their lead with the help of an own goal by Marc Guehi.
Arsenal are off to a good start, with three points and a clean sheet to dispel doubts and demonstrate that they are not like last season, which began with a defeat away to Brentford.
