Arsenal beats Manchester United in their Premier League opener; Calafiori Nets winner

The expensive new forward line of Manchester United drew a blank when Arsenal started his search for the Premier League title by sharpening a 1-0 win over Old Trafford on Sunday.

Riccardo Calafiori scored the only goal after the Italian defender had made a big mistake by the stand-in-goalkeeper Altay Bayindir van United.

United has splashed £ 200 million ($ 271 million) on new attackers to remedy a lack of punch in the last third.

Despite promising debut, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo did not find it in the net, while replacement Benjamin Sesko Arsenal could not have paid because he could not pursue his interest in the Slovenian.

After the last three seasons finished second, the pressure on Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is to deliver the first league title of the club in 2003-04.

The Spaniard was left to be dependent on his reliable defense and goalkeeper David Raya to secure a crucial three points, because the visiting side never started as an attacking force.

Only four other teams scored less than the 44 goals of United in 38 Premier League matches last season, because the English giant went through his worst campaign for 51 years and finished 15th in the table.

The newcomers have at least lifted the mood around Old Trafford, and the majority of the 75,000 fans present could at least be encouraged by the performance of the men of Ruben Amorim.

Cunha and Mbeumo made the normal tireless center-back couple of Arsenal restless in the start of Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba.

However, United’s good work was undone by a striking error by Bayindir, which took place for the wounded Andre Onana.

The Turkish international fluttered for 13 minutes for an intersection Declan Rice Corner, so that Calafiori could go the simplest tasks in an unguarded net.

Patrick Dorgu came closest to a united answer for peace with a powerful distance from a distance that returned from the post.

Mbeumo and Cunha saw tam densions easily saved by Raya, while the Spaniard did brilliant to distract another Cunha shot over the face of the goal.

Arsenal had been interested in Sesko for more than a year before he pursued a move for Viktor Gyokeres as the solution to the need for no. 9.

The Swede had a quiet Premier League debut and was replaced before the hour of Kai Havertz.

Sesko made his entrance a little later at the welcome of a hero after rejecting the Newcastle’s claims for the temptation of the 20-times English champion.

United continued to enjoy the piece of the piece without finding the finish, while Mbeumo saw a powerful header skillfully hanging out by Raya.

But Arsenal held up to keep pace with title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City, who also won during the opening weekend of the campaign.
