Arsenal produced a stunning opening-day performance to thrash Everton
6-1 underline boss Arsene Wenger's belief his young stars can win
the title.
The Gunners exposed Everton's frailties in defence and the hosts'
lack of depth. The last time Everton lost 6-1 at home was back in
1958, and Arsenal did the damage that time as well.
Their passing, movement and finishing left Everton in shreds, and
the north Londoners were three up at the break through Denilson,
debut defender Thomas Vermaelen and his centre-back colleague William
Gallas.
Everton boss David Moyes had suggested beforehand the Joleon Lescott
saga had destabilised his team, but few would have predicted to
this extent.
After the interval Cesc Fabregas struck with two fine goals before
Eduardo hit one.
