  • Coach Mikel Arteta will now hope to improve on his side's performances as the season progresses

Arsenal grabbed their first Premier League win this season following their hard-fought 1-0 triumph over stubborn Norwich City at Emirates Stadium this weekend.

As usual, the Gunners struggled against the newly-promoted side for the most part of the encounter despite having the fans backing them.

This doesn't mean they had no chance at all but they failed to convert most of the opportunities they had while bars denied them of the others.

However, they were able to break the deadlock in the 66th minute after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tapped in from close range following a goal-mouth scramble.

The Gabon striker was in a good position when the ball flowed in his direction and he wasted no time before burying it.

Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith-Rowe, and the goal scorer also made more attempts to increase the tally but Daniel Farke's men were disciplined enough to turn down their hosts' advances.

Mikel Arteta can now heave a sigh of relief after ending his three games losing streak after the FIFA international break.

Meanwhile, the pressure is still not over as he must ensure he keeps churning out good results for him to retain his job.

Cristiano Ronaldo with a brace on second Man United debut

Legit.ng earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo announced his return to Old Trafford with a brace on his second Manchester United debut in their Premier League meeting against Newcastle United.

The 36-year-old who rejoined the Red Devils on a two-year deal from Juventus during the transfer window opened the scoring for the hosts in the added minutes of the opening half.

Ronaldo scored a rebound from close range after Mason Greenwood's shot from about 25 yards out was stopped by Freddie Woodman moments before the final whistle.
