Arsenal would start their 24/25 Premier League journey with a comfortable 2-0 win over Wolves. The Gunners managed to take Man City right to the wire last season, so they will be looking to try push them all the way again and take home the title for the first time since Arsene Wenger managed the team in 2003.
Here are the best and worst players from the Arsenal vs Wolves Premier League game on Saturday, August 17th 2024.
Arsenal vs Wolves Player of the Match
Bukayo Saka
After a fairly quiet Euro 2024 tournament, Bukayo Saka would find his Premier League form from last season once again in an Arsenal shirt, earning an 8.5 overall with 1 goal, 1 assist during 80 minutes on the pitch.
Saka's quality on the wing will be pivotal for an Arsenal side that need to be almost perfect if they hope to chase City down to the final games of the season once again for the title.
Worst Player
Rodrigo Gomes
RWB Rodrigo Gomes produced what he could to try and give Wolves width during the match, but his 4 touches in the box and 6 final third crosses outline just how difficult Wanderers found it today trying to deal with Arsenal's dominance.
Honourable Mention
Kai Havertz
Kai Havertz would also have a solid afternoon for the Gunners, getting a goal and an assist himself across the ninety minutes. Mikel Arteta will be looking for more of the same from an attacking player that needs to silence some doubters this season.
