New signing Samir Nasri scored after four minutes to give Arsenal a 1-0 victory over promoted West Bromwich Albion when he began the new season of Premier League at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
The 21-year-old French midfielder, signed from Olympique Marseille of 15.0 million pounds ($ 28.08 million) at the close of the season, scored with a first time right-foot shot after good approach work Arsenal and a final cut-back pass from Denilson.
West Brom in the Premier League after two seasons in the championship (second division) were largely played out in north London sun and Arsenal dominated much more than the scoreline suggests.
Six matches were played later on Saturday with three more scheduled for Sunday when champions Manchester United open their bid for a third title against Newcastle United at Old Trafford.
