  "summary": "Arsenal began their Premier League season with a 3-0 victory over Coventry City. The team, who won their first title in 22 years last term, scored through Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, and Martin Odegaard.\n\nHavertz scored the first goal with a controlled finish into the bottom corner of the net. Saka made it two before halftime after latching on to a defensive mix-up.\n\nOdegaard added a third early in the second half. Arsenal's next game will be away to Aston Villa next Monday, according to Daily Post Nigeria.",
