LONDON - Arsenal got their Premier League campaign off to a winning start but were given a late fright by Nottingham Forest while Luton Town’s return to the top flight went flat as they crashed to a heavy defeat away to Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
Everton, who escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth last season, lost 1-0 at home to Fulham while Crystal Palace earned a 1-0 victory at promoted Sheffield United.Arsenal’s home game was delayed for half an hour because of problems with the ticketing system but once they got going there were few gremlins on the pitch as summer signings Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber all started.
Arsenal, who spent 248 days on top of the table last season before collapsing under City’s relentless charge, avoided any more hiccups but their victory came at a cost with Timber going off injured with a calf problem.“Welcome to the Premier League!” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said of the anxious finish. “We were super dominant, we deserved to win the game, but when we are 2-0 up and you have some chances to kill the game we didn’t.
Carlton Morris pulled one back for Luton, also from the spot, before late goals from substitutes Simon Adingra and Evan Ferguson reflected the home side’s dominance.He netted after 73 minutes with a tap-in at the back post after excellent work from Andreas Pereira, one of only two shots on target for the visitors.
