Overview

• Both Riccardo Calafiori and Federico Chiesa scored on their Premier League debuts, helping Arsenal beat Manchester United 1-0 and Liverpool defeat Bournemouth 4-2 respectively.
• Calafiori said he initially held off messaging Chiesa after the Bournemouth match to avoid “jumping on the bandwagon” since they barely spoke during last summer’s European Championship.
• Federico Chiesa dedicated his late winner at Anfield to his late teammate Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who died in a July car crash.
• Calafiori capitalised on a mistake by Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir to net the only goal at Old Trafford and continue his knack for scoring at major away venues.
• The Italy internationals could lock horns again when Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield on August 31.
