The 2025–26 Premier League opening gameweek is nearly in the books following Arsenal’s 1–0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
A historic rivalry was renewed on Sunday afternoon with a raucous crowd providing the backing track to the spotlight fixture of the week. Arsenal went ahead in the first half through Riccardo Calafiori to open the scoring. Before then, and well after, Man Utd were on top for most of the game. The Red Devils had more of the ball, looked more dangerous in attack and fired 22 shots. Though, they were unable to find a way back into the game with seven of those on target.
