On Saturday, Unai Emery's Arsenal side secured successive victories to start the Premier League season with a 2-1 win over Burnley.
The Gunners' new signings, including David Luiz, Dani Ceballos, and Nicolas Pepe, made their presence felt in the match.
Former Chelsea defender David Luiz made his first appearance for Arsenal and played comfortably alongside Sokratis, while on-loan Real Madrid midfielder Ceballos put in a man of the match performance with two assists on his home debut.
Club record signing Pepe came off the bench at half-time to add verve to the Arsenal attack.
Emery praised his team's performance, saying, "What we wanted to create was a big atmosphere with our supporters together today and this season. Today, with some new players, they made an impact in the first match here. We created this atmosphere."
Meanwhile, Burnley boss Sean Dyche used his post-match press conference to call for the football authorities to stamp out diving in the game, saying, "The game is in a really poor state for players diving, feigning injuries, all sorts."
Dyche suggested that the solution to the problem was simple: "Ban them. It would be out of football within a month."
