Last season’s runners-up Arsenal started the Premier League with a win, defeating Manchester United 1-0 on Sunday night.
United controlled possession and played well at home, but Arsenal took all three points. Defender Riccardo Calafiori scored the only goal of the match in the 13th minute, heading in from close range after goalkeeper Altay Bayindir failed to deal with Declan Rice’s corner.
In other league matches, Chelsea were held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace, while Nottingham Forest beat Brentford 3-1.
