Tzolis shines as Arsenal open EPL season with easy win

LONDON (AP): Newcomer Christos Tzolis helped set up two goals as defending champions Arsenal opened the English Premier League (EPL) season by dismantling promoted Coventry 3-0 to spoil the visitors’ long-awaited return to the top flight yesterday. After ending a 22-year wait for the Premier League title, Arsenal showed why they are favoured to repeat as champions by completely dominating Frank Lampard’s side in a game that was one-sided from start to finish.
