Arteta hopes to improve Arsenal through training.

With goals from Havertz, Saka, and Ødegaard, Arsenal secured a 3-0 victory over Coventry City in the 2026/27 Premier League season. Manager Arteta stated that he was impressed with the players' overall performance and hopes to elevate the team to another level through training.

In the 15th minute, Calafiori crossed from the left, and Havertz immediately slotted the ball home, giving Arsenal a 1-0 lead. In the 23rd minute, Zolis's cross was blocked by Coventry goalkeeper Rashworth, but Saka regained possession and slotted the ball home, extending Arsenal's lead over Coventry to 2-0.

In the 49th minute of the second half, Ben White passed the ball back from the penalty area, and Ødegaard slotted it home, extending Arsenal's lead to 3-0.

Arsenal ultimately defeated Coventry 3-0 at home, securing a winning start to the season.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said, "I am very happy. There were many things we liked from the start of the game. I think we dominated the game, the ball was able to be passed quickly from one side to the other, and the understanding between the players was really good. In addition, the players played very purposefully and were very decisive in maintaining their formation and position."

"What's impressive isn't just the result, but also the performance we put on. Of course, we still have a lot of room for improvement in many areas. Now, we finally have a few days to train, which some players haven't actually had before."

In their next Premier League match, Arsenal will travel to face Aston Villa away from home.

Arteta pointed out, "I can't wait to start preparing for the next game. During the preseason, we had three different groups of players return, including those who participated in international matches. Now, we will seize this opportunity to take the team to another level."

In addition, 28-year-old England defender Konsa joined Arsenal and signed a long-term contract.

When asked what Konsa could bring to Arsenal, Arteta said, "He will certainly bring depth and quality. Our defense is very tight due to injuries to Saliba and Timber. We only have four, sometimes even five, defenders. So continuing like this would be very risky, which is why we have been working hard to make signings."
