Arsenal snuck a narrow 1-0 victory over Manchester United to make the perfect start to their Premier League campaign at Old Trafford.

Arsenal open their Premier League campaign with a crucial 1-0 win at Manchester United, exposing the key differences between the two sides.

All the reaction to the Premier League weekend as Arsenal open their campaign with a 1-0 win at Manchester United.

But Arsenal were given a helping hand by Altay Bayindir and, indirectly, Amorim. The Turkey international’s lame punch allowed Riccardo Calafiori to head in from a yard; if Viktor Gyokeres, the debutant striker, was supposed to be the final piece in Arteta’s jigsaw, there was something typical of his teams in that the goal came from the left-back.

Ruben Amorim has omitted Rasmus Højlund from Manchester United's matchday squad for their Premier League opener against Arsenal on Sunday.

Joe Hart slammed an ‘indefensible’ error from goalkeeper Altay Bayindir after Manchester United’s opening Premier League defeat to Arsenal. Arsenal, who were potent from set-pieces last season, scored from their first corner of the season after Bayindir flapped at an inswinging delivery from Declan Rice.
