Chelsea keep 100% record going with 3-0 win against Burnley

Wenger, who looks certain to add Valencia defender Shkodran Mustafi and Deportivo La Caruna striker Lucas Perez to his ranks in the coming days, likened Xhaka to a former Arsenal favourite and revealed the club had made a move for him a year ago.

Arsenal grab the much-needed three points, but a weak second half will subdue the celebrations somewhat.

The home side gradually grew into the game in the first half, looking a constant threat from set-pieces and crosses into the box.

“Now Mesut is almost there, not completely, but he just goes again”. It took just eight minutes for the first opportunity to arise for the visitors as Nordin Amrabat clattered into Alexis Sanchez following a Mesut Özil cross.

Chelsea continued their impressive start to the season under Antonio Conte as they picked up their third win in three Premier League games. Alexis Sanchez ultimately turned the ball home in rather awkward and fortunate circumstances, but the whole goal was an indication of Walcott’s improving end product.

With new players surely coming in the side, Arsenal must feel that they have enough in their resources to challenge for the title. ‘He is a guy who plays naturally behind the ball, he is a bit similar to Petit in the way he plays football, ‘ Wenger said.

“We want to win the title, there is no hiding … that and we will do our best”. “We got a vital three points”.

Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech was pleased with the Gunners’ first half performance at Watford on Saturday.

Arsenal beat Watford to earn their first victory of the season. “We have not got any plans for anyone else now”. Watford followers will hope their side can take an inspired second half display into their upcoming matches, beginning with a game against West Ham after the worldwide break.

Manager Walter Mazzarri is yet to taste victory since his appointment in the summer but he was able to give debuts to Pereyra, Daryl Jaanmat, Younes Kaboul and Isaac Success. “The organisational things are still missing and two starting players were out last minute and this really didn’t help”.

Everton’s Leighton Baines celebrates their first goal with Ross Barkley and Kevin Mirallas, which was an own goal scored by Stoke City’s Shay Given.

Ozil finished last season on top of the Premier League’s assists table and is an essential player to the Gunners’ attack.

The new signing will be on global duty with Germany this week, but will join up with his new teammates next week ahead of what will probably be his Premier League debut against Southampton on September 10th.
