Overview
- Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford thanks to Riccardo Calafiori’s first-half goal.
- Viktor Gyokeres started his Premier League debut but was substituted after 60 minutes without recording a shot and completed only four passes, per Sofascore.
- Portuguese outlet A Bola highlighted an uncharacteristic fumble and former manager Alan Pardew described the striker’s display as “poor.”
- Gyokeres joined this summer from Sporting CP for a reported £63.7 million after scoring 97 goals in 102 appearances but missed much of Arsenal’s pre-season following a protracted transfer.
- Pressure is on Gyokeres to deliver a stronger impact in Arsenal’s next home fixture against Leeds at the Emirates Stadium.
