At the end of the game we saw Haaland reminding Arsenal players to "stay humble and they have won six titles in last seven years."

It was a good game overall. Arsenal, just like last season, was great defensively. United looked good as well, but they could not find the net. 

A mistake from Bayindir helped Arsenal get the goal, and that was the game for them. 

Thank you for watching. We will see you next time. Good night. 

Last season's runners-up Arsenal start with a win as United's tough time continued. 

It was Calafiori's goal from the corner that was enough for them to seal the win. 

United did well, especially Cunha and Mbeumo. Dorgu came close to scoring when he hit the post in the first half.

Weak cross from Dorgu from the left. The cross was defended well by White.

Mac Allister, with a powerful shot from the edge of the box, nearly scored. However, Petrović was cautious enough to deflect the away for a corner kick. 

Cody Gakpo doubles the lead for the defending champions. 

Poor defending here from the visitors. Hugo Ekitike made a quick turn at the edge of the box on the left and found Cody. 

The Dutch striker was then allowed to make an entry deep inside the box and go for a shot with his right-footed from 16-yards.

 Tavernier found a juicy ball inside the box following a cut-back from the right. He hit the ball straight to Alisson. He should be disappointed with that. 

Mac Allister made a good run into the box. However, the Argentine's side-footed pass for Firmpong could not find the winger as he ran ahead of the ball. 

Finally, the corner was take,n and it was Virgil van Dijk, who jumped in the air to get a head to it. However, it went straight to Petrovic. 

We have a break at the moment, with the referee having a word with the match officials and players. 

Ekitike had the chance to riddle the ball into the goal from an airy ball outside the box by Writz. But Diakite was there to deflect it for a corner to Liverpool FC.

Although Liverpool are enjoying more possession, the visitors have won the physical battle so far, with more bodies, winning tackles and one-on-one situations.

Semenyo, this time, manhandled Writz to win the ball back for Bournemouth. 

In the 20th minute of the match, fans show Diogo Jota's jersey and clap his name to give him a resounding tribute. 

After the first mistake, Konate now fails to clear the ball away and hands it to opponents. However, Evanilson, who has handed the ball over by Konate, was found offside.

Yellow card for David Brooks.
