MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – Riccardo Calafiori scored a 13th-minute header to give Arsenal a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, opening their 2025/26 Premier League campaign with three points.
The goal came from Arsenal’s first corner of the season, capitalising on hesitant goalkeeping by United’s Altay Bayindir. Despite taking the lead early, Arsenal struggled to maintain free-flowing play for much of the match.
United’s debutants Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo pressured the Gunners throughout, but both were denied by strong saves from Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya. The win puts Arsenal alongside Liverpool and Manchester City, who also claimed victories on opening weekend.
