Premier League Reviews Matchday 1 Batch 1

2

Just my quick opinions on the other games from this past weekend.

Arsenal v West Bromwich Albion: In what looked like a replay of so many Arsenal games last season, Arsenal controlled the game against West Bromwich Albion, but were unable to put them away, only getting a 1-0 result.
