A victory is a victory. Arsenal I will undoubtedly take it. It was not all firearms, but the Gunners moved away from Old Trafford, a match they find notoriously difficult, with a 1-0 victory on the opening weekend of the season.
It was not pretty against Manchester United but Mikel ArtetaThe side, which simply drew too many games last quarter, found a way to overcome the line.
They did it with resilience, they did it with a few nerves, and they did it with decorations. Yes, set Piece FC is back.
Since Nicolas Jover came to the club, Arsenal was brilliant in the turns in particular and it was a shock for absolutely no one that the only goal of the match came from a Declan rice game.
Arsenal pre-season preparations were far from ideal. There was a lack of spark at their attack, really until 3-0 victory against Athletic Club last weekend.
On this occasion, ViktorBukayo Saka and Kai Havertz were on the match sheet. It looked like a full performance in the strongest range in Arteta.
However, forward quickly per week and this same flow, this same sharpness was missing. In truth, Arsenal’s attack has been improved by the United Forward line in all departments but the objectives.
While Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, signed respectively in Wolves and Brentford, seemed a constant threat, the same cannot be said for those who run the line for visitors.
However, Arsenal found one way and he went into another corner. In all honesty, however, United was not covered with glory.
From the rice boot, the midfielder swung the ball of the flag from the left corner and was not treated correctly, mainly by goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.
United has had a number of problems in their goalkeeper service in recent years and it was no different to start the 2025/26 campaign. Bayindir beat in the ball and almost put him in his own net where Riccardo Calafiori returned home from a yard.
It was the only chance to note that the Gunners had, as they had people like David Raya, William Saliba and Gabriel to thank defensively. Raya, in particular, stood out on the outside side, notably making a wonderful stop to prevent Matheus Cunha in the first half.
This left Gary Neville with admiration, but it is unlikely that many supporters would be impressed. While Arsenal found a way to leave Manchester with the three points, the same numbers last season were obvious.
One of the biggest problems was the attack, and Arteta must find a way to obtain a marquee signature, gyker, pulling.
Last weekend, the supporters hope that Gyokerers were going to be the man to fire Arsenal on the title.
His goal of opening in the famous red and white was brilliantly taken, crossing the defender and returning home a cross of Martin Zubimenddi.
However, this same movement and the same speed of thought were not apparent to Old Trafford this weekend. In fact, Gyokerres underwent a beginning to forget, a question described by Tom Canton of Football.London Who gave the Swedish a note of 5/10 and wrote: “had trouble entering the game in the first half and was limited in terms of service and keys.”
It is true that Gyokerres seriously disappointed with Manchester. He left the ground at 60 minutes for a choir of Sheers of United Supporters and he managed not to have a single effort on the goal.
It talks about a front line in general. Although the summer signature could have done better, Gabriel Martinelli and Saka did very little to help the great attacker to prosper.
Saka is usually the creative center of this team. No player has created more scorer’s chances by 90 minutes in the Premier League last.
However, on Sunday, he finished only one of his six attempts to dribble and only finished one key pass. Martinelli, on the other hand, did not finish any dribbling. He also recorded a key pass. Combined, they lost the ball 20 times.

On this proof, Gyokerres was hungry and probably cursed his teammates to points. He did the shopping, but was often ignored, just as he was in pre-season.
The fact is that Arsenal will have to change the way they play in attack to welcome the former sports man. What is also true is that gyokerres must improve.
For such a strong and imposing player, the 27 -year -old was the victim of intimidation throughout, displaying only four passes and winning only three of his 13 duels and only one of the six in the air.
Gyokerers will probably score a lot of goals this season. After all, he was 54 times in a net in 2024/25, but he and the team will have to improve quickly to make the ground fall.
Arsenal has taken the points, but their line before will undoubtedly be a concern for Arteta.
