Champs Arsenal start Prem with rout of Coventry

Arsenal opened their Premier League title defense with a commanding 3-0 victory over promoted Coventry City at the Emirates Stadium on Friday. Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka scored inside the first 23 minutes, before captain Martin Ødegaard added a third goal four minutes into the second half. The win marked Mikel Arteta's 150th Premier League victory in 249 games, with only Guardiola, Mourinho, Klopp, and Ferguson having reached that milestone in fewer matches.
