New signings inspire Arsenal to victory

Arsenal’s newcomers made an immediate impact as they opened the English Premier League by taming Crystal Palace 2-0 away yesterday. Left fullback Oleksandr Zinchenko set up the opening goal from a corner in the 20th minute, nodding back across goal for Gabriel Martinelli to head home. The Gunners endured a nervy second half before Bukayo Saka’s attempted cross was deflected into his own net by Marc Guehi late on for 2-0.
