Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta felt his team’s 3-0 win over Coventry in the opening game of the Premier League season on Friday (Aug 21) proved that the Gunners have not lost their hunger for silverware. Picking up from where they left off last season, when Arsenal ended their 22-year wait for a league title, they cruised to a comfortable win, thanks to goals from Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard at the Emirates Stadium. Arteta, whose Arsenal is already touted as title favourites this season, was encouraged by his team’s relentless pressing against Frank Lampard’s promoted Coventry. &nbsp;"They look exactly the same (as last season) to me. What I did transmit to them was to show more desire and earn the right to be better than everyone else," Arteta said. "There was a lot to like from the performance. It was a great result but also the manner we started the game. &nbsp;"It was domination, clarity and understanding. It was really impressive."&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/lionel-messi-inter-miami-fined-mls-disciplinary-committee-philadelphia-union-1787370886080">Lionel Messi and Inter Miami teammate fined by MLS for stoppage-time slap incident</a> &nbsp;Back from the off-season break, the Arsenal players never lost that touch and connection, as shown in their first win of the season. &nbsp;"We were so dominant, we had incredible connections, we were really accurate with the ball," Arteta said. “The players have to be decisive, and they were today.
