Mikel Arteta
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal won their third straight game to begin the 2022–23 season, with goals from Martin Odegaard twice and William Saliba. Their first perfect three-game start to a season since 2004-05 with the 3-0 victory propels them to the top of the Premier League.
Last season, Mikel Arteta’s management came under intense scrutiny when Arsenal lost their first three games and finished last in the table with no goals and no points. A year later, they are in first place after a convincing 3-0 victory over Bournemouth, which suggests that Arteta has Arsenal in a position where they can really contend for a top-four finish.
Arsenal defeats Bournemouth
There are pleasing contrasts throughout. Arteta’s debut match in charge was a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth in December 2019 that saw the Gunners desperately try to salvage a point. This time, Martin Odegaard’s two goals put them up 2-0 on the south coast inside of 11 minutes. William Saliba then increased their lead.
Odegaard scored the game’s first goal, and Gabriel Martinelli provided the assist, according to the records, but it was Gabriel Jesus’ contribution that had the biggest impact on swinging the match in Arsenal’s favour early on. During the opening five minutes, Jesus outmuscled Marcos Senesi before using a fantastic first touch to assist him spin into space, elude Jefferson Lerma, ghost past Marcus Tavernier, and then sneak a reverse pass away from Chris Mepham to release Martinelli for a chance at goal.
Aside from the fact that that section of the play was beautiful, it was exactly the kind of bold moment that sets the tone for the entire squad, earlier iterations of Arsenal might doubt their desire to battle in away games like this.
