Well deserved another win by Arsenal. This is how the Gunners should play. Arsenal picked up right where they left off. Timber's goal and assist, Saka's finishing, Gyökeres getting on the scoresheet twice, their effectiveness on corners, 15-year-old Dowman, today everything was perfect for Arsenal. The team looks much better this season. Hopefully they keep it up. Those underestimating Leeds United should follow the league closely because they'll cause problems for big teams.
These goals actually are very helpful for Gyökeres to get rid of pressure on his shoulders or at least reduce it considerably. It will help him performing next matches for Arsenal more naturally and with less pressure. Surely he did not join Arsenal without ambitious targets for himself and he will try to perform as best as possible, to contribute his best for the club as well as achieving as best results as possible in this season.

The score is good but two injuries to key players is too much, if it continues like this then Arsenal will have no players left after 10 rounds. It is not yet clear how long Saka and Odegaard are out, it seems that they can quickly recover but still the situation is dangerous. And I would not pay attention to the big score, in fact, one of the top clubs of the Premier League played against a club from the Championship. The difference in class is too big, this is the expected score for such a confrontation.
Saka and Odegaard are very important for Arsenal and missing one of these key players is already big problem for them. Missing both key players is terrible for Arsenal but hopefull at early weeks of season, when all players are good in fitness and no exhaustion, Arsenal will be able to cover these absences well enough. They have had two good first matches in Premier League but from their experience in Premier League three latest seasons, I believe they are well aware that they can not win Premier League title with two wins or some wins or just a good result streak.
