Arsenal defeated Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford in the opening round of English football’s Premier League this morning.

Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori nodded in from close range in the 13th minute after United back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayındır flapped at the ball from a corner whipped in by Declan Rice.

After finishing second for the past three seasons, the pressure is on Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta to deliver the club’s first league title since 2003-2004.

Meanwhile, United fell to a loss that is all too familiar under Ruben Amorim following a woeful 15th-place finish last season by the struggling giants of English football.

In other results, Nottingham Forest beat Brentford 3-1 and Chelsea drew nil-all with Crystal Palace.
