Watch: Vintage Saka goal nudges Arsenal past Wolves for opening win
Bukayo Saka put the finishing touch on Arsenal's season-opening victory Saturday, scoring in the second half against Wolverhampton to lift the hosts to a 2-0 win.
Arsenal opened their Premier League campaign with a stylish goal in the first half after Saka picked out Kai Havertz with a cross that the German headed in from close range.
Saka stepped up again in the 74th minute with a goal of his own, cutting inside in vintage fashion and scoring near post with a powerful left-footed strike to help get Arsenal's title bid started with three points.
