Arsenal delivered a strong performance in the Premier League opener, defeating Manchester United 1-0. Riccardo Calafiori scored the decisive goal early on, capitalizing on a corner kick mishandled by United's backup goalie, Altay Bayindir.

Despite United's hefty investment in attacking players during the offseason, the team faltered, reminiscent of its 15th-place finish last season. On the contrary, Arsenal's defense proved impenetrable, showcasing its strength from set pieces once again.

Chelsea struggled in a goalless draw against Crystal Palace, and Nottingham Forest impressed with a 3-1 win over Brentford, thanks to Chris Wood's exceptional performance. All matches began with a tribute to the late Diogo Jota and Andre Silva.
