Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Mikel Arteta praised Arsenal’s ability to ride out a second-half onslaught from Crystal Palace to make the perfect start to the Premier League season with a 2-0 win at Selhurst Park on Friday.<\/p>\n

On the ground where the Gunners lost 3-0 in April to spark a late season collapse that cost them a place in the Champions League, Arteta’s men held out after Gabriel Martinelli’s header gave them a deserved half-time lead.<\/p>\n

Marc Guehi’s own goal late on then sealed the three points after Odsonne Edouard and Eberechi Eze had missed big chances for Palace.<\/p>\n

“The win is the most important thing. To win the first match it builds confidence, momentum and then we can discuss the things we have to improve,” said Arteta.<\/p>\n

“To win here you need to suffer. We’ve done it and that is part of the mentality we want to build.”<\/p>\n

Arsenal were beaten 2-0 at Brentford on the opening night of last year’s season, which triggered their worst start to a league campaign for 67 years.<\/p>\n

But they backed up their blistering pre-season form and rewarded the faith placed in Arteta with over \u00a3100 million ($120 million) to spend in the transfer market.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Jesus’ arrival to fill the need for a centre-forward has been Arsenal’s marquee signing of the summer and the Brazilian nearly marked his debut in style after just four minutes.<\/p>\n

Jesus slalomed through the centre of the Palace defence and when his initial effort was blocked, Martinelli should have done better than slot the rebound wide of the target.<\/p>\n

The visitors were utterly dominant in the opening quarter, but it took a set-piece to make the breakthrough.<\/p>\n

Another debutant Oleksandr Zinchenko nodded a corner back across goal and Martinelli’s header had just enough power to beat Vicente Guaita.<\/p>\n

Palace had suffered a far more problematic pre-season with a number of key players left at home during a tour of Australia due to their coronavirus vaccination status.<\/p>\n

The Eagles took half an hour to find their feet, but will be disappointed not to have at least taken a point once they got to the tempo of the game.<\/p>\n

Arsenal were guilty of causing their own problems in raising the Palace fans from their slumber as a clearance from Aaron Ramsdale was charged down and fortunately for the England goalkeeper rebounded to one of his own defenders.<\/p>\n

Ramsdale made amends before the break with a fine stop to deny Edouard’s header levelling before the French striker had another effort deflected inches over the bar.<\/p>\n

Palace penned Arteta’s men back in the second period, but again failed to take their chances when they came along.<\/p>\n

Eberechi Eze was the most guilty as he fired tamely into Ramsdale’s body with just the Arsenal number one to beat.<\/p>\n

“The difference between the two teams is they score the goals,” said Palace boss and former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira.<\/p>\n

“We created two really good chances to score and we didn’t take our chances.”<\/p>\n

Arsenal had barely even threatened on the counter-attack in the second half, but got lucky to give themselves breathing space for the final five minutes.<\/p>\n

Bukayo Saka’s driven cross caught his England teammate Guehi off guard as the Palace centre-back’s header flew into his own net.<\/p>\n
