Arsenal begin the new Premier League season by taking all 3 points at Old Trafford as a close 1-0 win hands them the opening win against Ruben Amorim and Manchester United. Riccardo Calafiori's 1st half header from close range gave the visitors a big win to start things this year.
The first half began with United looking a completely different attacking side as compared to last season, with Bryan Mbuemo dribbling fearlessly onto the Arsenal defence and trying to create chances. However, it was Arsenal who got the lead in the 13th minute courtesy of their set piece prowess. The Martinelli corner fell to the head of Calafiori who headed home, giving the breakthrough to the visitors. The goal arguably shouldn't have stood with goalkeeper Bayindir being pushed away by Saliba. However, the goal was allowed. The fast start by United continued though that also featured a brilliant Cunha dribble thorugh the middle of the pitch but the final shot right at Raya. The goal can be considered as a gift for Arteta's side who had a shaky first half. New signing Gyokeres didn;t look dangerous with Matthis De Ligt looking comfortabel against him for now. While the second half also saw United dominating possession and getting chances on the day, the Gunners' defence stood up to the task and managed to keep the clean sheet on the day. Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres both ended their debuts goalless with the Utd striker coming on for the final 15 minutes. United were the better team on the day but it was Arsenal who churned out the right result for them and will go home with a satisfaction of a hard fought win.
