Arsenal made it two wins from two as they saw off Leicester City on a sweltering day in north London.
Gabriel Jesus continues to justify his move down from Manchester as he scored two of his team's four at the Emirates, including a fantastic opener. The Foxes twice threatened to make a comeback, only for the hosts to react in the perfect manner as Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli also scored.
William Saliba put through his own net whilst James Maddison also scored for the visitors, who have endured a quiet summer and could lose some of their leading lights. Arsenal missed out on the top four last term but are determined to go one better and looked primed at this early stage.
We take a look at who thrived on Saturday afternoon - and those who may not have.
Winners
Gabriel Jesus
The forward has always been highly-rated, but with each passing game he looks set to make a mockery of all the question marks that hung over him. This week it was could he lead the line? Last weekend, on his Arsenal debut, the Brazilian showed glimpses in a battling win.
Eight days on and Jesus was able to show his skills in a team that were largely on the front foot throughout. The Brazilian scored twice - two very different goals that showed flair as well as a killer instinct. The fear, following his arrival from Manchester City, was that Jesus had never been prolific. The player himself may have argued that he was never allowed to be - and is now showing what he can do when trusted to lead the line. Jesus was able to link with Bukayo Saka and Martinelli effectively and continues to get rave reviews.
William Saliba
Rarely does a defender score an own goal yet get the immediate applause of his fans and huge praise from his manager. Saliba putting may have put through his own net, but that was a blot on what was otherwise an impressive scorecard as he continued to show his quality alongside Gabriel.
The young Frenchman looked accomplished and composed as he makes light of his lack of experience in England's top flight. Saliba continued to break-up the Leicester attacks and played out when possible. His header into his own net was largely down to a lack of communication.
Arteta said on his defender: "I am happier with him today than I was against Crystal Palace last week, because of how he reacted to the own goal."
Losers
Emile Smith Rowe
Arsenal's no 10 was given a little over six minutes today in north London. It is not that he's doing much wrong, opportunities just aren't coming his way. The problem is, given how the front quartet are performing, it is hard for Arteta to justify making any changes.
Smith Rowe would usually occupy one of the three attacking midfield roles, which today were taken up by Martinelli, Saka and Martin Odegaard. Already Jesus and two of his supporting cast have scored this season and Odegaard is now captaining the side. It could mean that Smith Rowe is relying upon one of his teammates to be absent so that he can, across 90 minutes, give Arteta a reminder of his quality having been in and out of the starting XI since last season.
Ben White
Thus far this season Saliba's gain has been to Ben White's detriment. The defender, signed last summer for £50m from Brighton, has been pushed out to right-back to accommodate his teammate. It is not his most comfortable position and, at times, it does show.
On the flanks there is more one v one defending to do and it presents differing challenges to those he would usually face at the heart of defence. Saliba's showings mean he is likely to continue and now Takehiro Tomiyasu is back in the fold.
The Japanese star was introduced after 75 minutes with White being hooked. It is hard to imagine Arteta sticking with a makeshift right-back over a conventional one and, should the former Brighton man be on the bench tomorrow, it could leave him in an awkward predicament.
