Review

Arsenal have won the opening match of the 2008-09 Premiership, 1-0 over newcomers West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

Only four minutes were played at Emirates Stadium when new signing Samir Nasri opened the score for the Londoners and WBA lacked the strength to do something back.

Kolo Touré, who wasn't certain for this match due to injury, came on to replace Theo Walcott in the second half.
