Arsenal has begun the Premier League season on a high note, with a 1-0 win over Manchester United. 


The Gunners' goal came in the 13th minute when Riccardo Calafiori headed home a Declan Rice corner-kick. 


Despite the Red Devils’ strong start, they could not find the back of the net, with Arsenal's defense holding firm.


Manchester United's best chance came in the second half when Bryan Mbeumo's header was palmed away by Arsenal goalkeeper, David Raya, but the Red Devils struggled to create clear-cut opportunities, while Arsenal's defense proved too strong.


With this win, Arsenal aims to finally claim the top spot after finishing second for the last three years. 


Meanwhile, Manchester United plans to regroup and improve on their 15th-place finish from last season, with Arsenal hosting Leeds United next, while the Red Devils will face Fulham away.
