Review
Not the best start to the new season but not the worst either, unless you look at the stats. We had very little possession and let Arsenal take a comfortable 2-0 lead, but the new boys looked good and Awoniyi got one back with ten minutes to go meaning he's now scored in his last 5 games! It's also worth noting that Arsenal had three new players (Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber and Kai Havertz) that cost them around 200 million pounds. And the game kicked off half an hour late due to turnstile issues.
