Arsenal 1-0 Man City- Not a bad way to Kick off the Season

Wojciech Szczesny

What a way to start! The Gunners dominated the ball and deservedly won. Douglas Costa scored a well worked goal early on and Man City never looked like scoring. It was puzzling that Wojciech Szczesny got Man of the Match-City only had 4 shots and 2 on target!

This was a fairly boring . Even though the Gunners had the majority of the ball they couldn't create many chances. It was obvious that the squad hadn't fully gelled yet.
