Arsenal began their Premier League title challenge by beating Nottingham Forest 2-1 on Saturday as Alexander Isak scored twice in Newcastle's 5-1 thrashing of Aston Villa.

After finishing second to Manchester City last season, Arsenal have splashed over & GBP 200 million ($254 million) on new signings to try and claim their first title for 20 years.

Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber all made their debuts at the Emirates and the Gunners should have had a far more convincing scoreline to show for their performance.

Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring after some sublime skill by Gabriel Martinelli opened up the Forest defence. Bukayo Saka then curled into the top corner from outside the area, but the Gunners were guilty of not killing the game off.
