Coventry is a newcomer to the league. They returned to the Premier League after 25 years of absence. However, Frank Lampard's team faced too big a challenge when facing defending champion Arsenal. The continuous pressure that the home team created was concretized by three goals from Saka, Kai Havertz and Odegaard. The victory also helped Arsenal create many memorable records.
Accordingly, Mikel Arteta reached his 150th victory in the Premier League and is currently one of five coaches to achieve 150 victories in less than 250 matches (249), after Pep Guardiola (204), Jose Mourinho (231), Jurgen Klopp (237) and Sir Alex Ferguson (247).
This is Arsenal's biggest victory when opening a Premier League season at home, along with another 3-0 victory in the 1994-1995 season against Manchester City.
Arsenal are unbeaten in 46 home matches in the Premier League against newly promoted teams, with 41 wins, 5 draws. In this series of matches, Mikel Arteta's team has won 17 recent matches with a total score of 47-9.
Frank Lampard has only won one of his last 18 matches as a coach in the Premier League (4 draws, 13 losses), while his team has not kept a clean sheet in all 17 recent matches.
Kai Havertz has scored in four consecutive starts for the first time in his Premier League career, this is his longest club-level scoring streak in all competitions since May 2020 (4 for Bayer Leverkusen).
Including the English Super Cup match, Martin Odegaard has scored 2 goals this season, more than the number of goals he has scored in the entire previous season (1 goal after 36 matches).
Declan Rice made six passes through the opponent's defense in the match against Coventry; this was his best performance in a Premier League match for Arsenal, despite only playing 68 minutes.
Arsenal will have about 10 days of rest before coming to Aston Villa's stadium. After that, they will return to their home ground to welcome Chelsea. These will be very difficult matches for Saka and his teammates.
