Arsenal held on to their one-goal lead to bag their first three points of the season. The league runners up last year who scored seventeen goals through corner kicks the previous season got their only goal through no other means but a corner kick in the fifteenth minutes when Italian defender Calafiori headed home from the goal line giving the Red Devils shot stopper no chance at all, to register the Gunners first and only goal of the match. 

 

The Amorim men didn't go down easily; they fought for the entire game and gave Arsenal a tough time, forcing David Raya to a man-of-the-match performance.

 

Gyokeree's debut was promising, but it ended in the 60th minute without a goal to his name, when Kai Harvert replaced him. However, Sesko started the match from the bench and did not become part of the game until the 65th minute.

 

Manchester United, who were on top throughout the match, had 52% of possession and had Arsenal's keeper make seven saves to earn him the man of the match.  Five yellow cards were awarded, and four went to Arsenal. 

The home crowd was very vocal, and they had something to cheer about, even though their team lost, but they put up a commendable performance.

 

A loss to the Gunners is always a bitter pill to swallow in Old Trafford, but there's always a payback time.

Six teams are now tied up on three points at the top of the Premier League standings with one match remaining in week one of the Premier League.

The match lived up to the expectations as the top one on day one of the Premier League season.
