A win is all that matters
The opening to the Premier League season is a gauntlet for the Gunners, so getting off to a fast start while the squad finds its legs was crucial.
Yeah, the 1-0 win won't win any awards for aesthetics, but a win is a win, and against United on their home deck, it makes it even better, despite the overall performance being so-so.
Still, we weren't really expecting a unreal 90 minutes from Arteta's side out of the gate, but the team got the desired result.
And at this time of the year, that is all that matters.
