This was Arsenal with the air of poised authority that comes with being champions.
In their first game back, against newly promoted opposition, they wore their crown well.
Yes, it was only Coventry City, at home, which is the sort of fixture they ought to be flexing some muscle. But it was also an opportunity for Arsenal to show how winning the league last May has boosted their sense of self.
This team is trying to push themselves to be even better than before.
