HIGHLIGHTS | Crystal Palace 0-1 Arsenal | Premier League

Mikel Arteta’s team clung onto the points thanks to a solid rearguard display from that point onwards to kick off the season with six points from six.

The captain stroked home a spot-kick on 53 minutes after Eddie Nketiah was brought down in the box by Sam Johnstone, before Takehiro Tomiyasu was dismissed for two yellow cards - Arsenal first dismissal in the Premier League since May 2022.
