As been expected Arsenal win the match even with a small margin, Arsenal still not have any good striker, there are so many chances created and Nketiah can't score any goal. Havertz, Trossard, Jesus and Nketiah, they can't play in center forward, but they're forced to play in this position.

I'd like to see Saka play in center forward position, he looks promising even though he's a right winger.
Well Trossard didn't play at all yesterday and it's really strange because the player is great and it's a shame Arteta doesn't put him in the lineup.
Also liked Rice with his game, he has a great pass, at the level of top players, it seems that with each match he is only gaining momentum.
As usual Edegaard did all well, stable game, a goal from a penalty that brought victory.
It's strange that Arteta didn't put Gabriel in defense, last season he seemed to play almost without substitutions, but nevertheless it worked so far. 
It was also a little surprising when Arteta did not play Leandro Trossard in this match even though their front line was quite deadlocked in the first half because they failed to score and even throughout this match only goals from the white point were scored by Arsenal.
Arsenal's front line performance was not that good in this match but their defense should be appreciated, even though they had to play with 10 players in the 67th minute because Takehiro Tomiyasu got a red card but Arsenal were able to maintain their advantage and again won full points this week.
I had forgotten that Arsenal played outnumbered, it seemed like the lineups were equal, which means the defense really worked well, even without Gabriel. In general, given the nature of the match, we can say that Arsenal can take credit for it, because after all, they survived more than 25 minutes in the minority.

So far the start is quite good and Arsenal, but whether it will be enough to beat Manchester City in the final race is unclear, but I think Arsenal can count on 2-3 place this season for sure. The transfer department has done a good job, the team looks generally balanced, but a little bit I think will be lacking at the end of the season players, because the reinforcements, although they were of high quality, take at least Rice, but unfortunately there are not many such players in the squad and if there are injuries, it will be very difficult to fight with City at the end of the season.
