Arsenal Defeats Manchester United

Arsenal defeated Manchester United 1-0 in their Premier League opener on Sunday.

Riccardo Calafiori headed in what proved to be the winner in the first half of the game.

A calamitous error from United’s stand-in goalkeeper Altay Bayindir gifted Arsenal left-back Riccardo Calafiori the game’s only goal, leaving the Red Devils’ new-look forward line frustrated.

Despite promising debuts from Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, United’s expensively assembled attack failed to breach Arsenal’s resolute defence, while substitute Benjamin Sesko could not make Arsenal pay for not pursuing their interest in the Slovenian.

After finishing second for the past three seasons, the pressure is on Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta to deliver the club’s first league title.

Only four other teams scored fewer than United’s 44 goals in 38 Premier League games last season as the English giants endured their worst campaign for 51 years, finishing 15th in the table.
