Eighty-nine days after claiming a championship that had eluded English football for nearly a century, Arsenal returned to the Emirates on a late-August Friday night and offered an unambiguous answer to the question every rival had been asking: had the hunger survived the triumph? Against Coventry City — a club whose own 25-year journey back to the top flight carried its own quiet dignity — Arsenal pressed, moved, and scored with the calm authority of a side that has not confused winning with arriving. The 3-0 result was less a scoreline than a statement of intent.
