Arsenal ratings: Gabriel Martinelli does himself no favours as Riccardo Calafiori steps up when it matters most
Scroll down to see how Arsenal's debutants were rated HAD A MAR-E Arsenal ratings: Gabriel Martinelli does himself no favours as Riccardo Calafiori steps up when it matters most Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RICCARDO CALAFIORI became the latest Arsenal defender to show his attacking prowess as his winner helped the Gunners to a 1-0 win over Manchester United. He touched Declan Rice's corner in on the line after Altay Bayindir could only punch the ball goalwards. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Riccardo Calafiori scored Arsenal's winner Credit: AFP 6 Gabriel Martinelli did little to show why he should be starting Credit: Getty But he also kept a tight lid on United dangerman Bryan Mbeumo, helping Mikel Arteta's side to a valuable clean sheet. The Gunners took the lead in the 13th minute and were able to hold firm despite the host's pressure. They offered little at the other end of the pitch however with Bukayo Saka not his usual self. Gabriel Martinelli also did little to prove why he deserves a starting role with summer signing Noni Madueke waiting in the wings. Here is how SunSport's Charlie Wyett rated the Arsenal display... DAVID RAYA - 6 Little to do until the 74th minute when he made a big save from Bryan Mbuemo BEN WHITE - 5 Given a real test by Patrick Dorgu, particularly before half-time, and did look a bit rusty - although not the only one. WILLIAM SALIBA - 5 Made things awkward for Bayindir for the goal but at the back he looked seriously ropey. BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS GABRIEL - 5 Surprisingly poor performance from the Arsenal central defender. Was particularly shaky in the first half. Arsenal new-boy reveals how to pronounce name properly… and you've been saying it all wrong for years RICCARDO CALAFIORI - 7 Grabbed the winning goal although he did often push up too high. 6 MARTIN ZUBIMENDI - 5 A really tough introduction to English football which started with a whack in the face from Mbuemo in the opening minute. 6 Martin Zubimendi got a fitting welcome to English football Credit: Getty DECLAN RICE - 6 Delivered the corner for the goal but really struggled to get control of the game although work rate was still good. MARTIN ODEGAARD - 5 Needs a much better season than last term when he struggled. Some of his decision-making with the ball was really bad. BUKAYO SAKA - 5 Had a few bright moments in the first half but Luke Shaw did a decent job on him. Could have scored at the end but Matthijs de Ligt delivered a fine block. GABRIEL MARTINELLI -5 Gets a lot of stick from Arsenal fans and this performance really did not help him. Could have no complaints at being taken off. 6 VIKTOR GYOKERES - 6 Put in a shift and did get behind the United defence but he needs to be given much better service. 6 Viktor Gyokeres had an uninspiring debut Credit: Reuters SUBS KAI HAVERTZ (FOR GYOKERES, 60 MINS) - 5 A few nice moments but unable to make a breakthrough. NONI MADUEKE (FOR MARTINELLI, 60 MINS) - 5 Saw little of the ball but could have scored deep into injury time. JURRIEN TIMBER (FOR WHITE, 72 MINS) - 5 First competition game since his ankle operation and did fine. MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY (FOR CALAFIORI, 72 MINS) - 5 Will have been disappointed not to start. MIKEL MERINO (FOR RICE, 83 MINS) - 5 No time to make an impact.

Man Utd ratings: Altay Bayindir costs his team the game but Bryan Mbeumo has hugely promising Old Trafford debut
Scroll down to see which United star should have been thrown on earlier KEPT AT BAY Man Utd ratings: Altay Bayindir costs his team the game but Bryan Mbeumo has hugely promising Old Trafford debut Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANCHESTER UNITED were edged out 1-0 by Arsenal in their season opener. Riccardo Calafiori's scrappy 13th minute goal proved to be enough to sink the Red Devils. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Man Utd fell to opening day defeat against the Gunners Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Ruben Amorim's side huffed and puffed to try and grab a leveller. The United boss turned to new boy Benjamin Sesko in the second half. But the ball just wouldn't fall for a red shirt in the box. Here's how SunSport rated each Man Utd performer on the day. ALTAY BAYINDIR - 4 Got the nod ahead of Onana but his blunder undid all United's good early work. Needed to be stronger as he flapped at the corner and gifted Calafiori the opening goal. 8 LENY YORO - 7 Still only 19 but the French defender looks a class act. Kept Martinelli quiet and then switched sides to keep an eye on Saka after Shaw went off. Will be a key part of United's defence for years to come. MATTHIJS DE LIGT - 7 Showed his defensive qualities when Gyokeres went through and when the Swede was withdrawn on the hour he knew he had done his job. Great late block to deny Saka a second goal for the Gunners. 8 Matthijs de Ligt battles with Kai Havertz Credit: Getty LUKE SHAW - 6 Bit of a surprise to see him start but a sign of the faith the manager has in him and hopefully his injury problems are behind him now. Did a decent job keeping Saka quiet before his lack of game time caught up and Maguire replaced him. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK DIOGO DALOT - 6 Nice link up with Mbeumo and got in a couple of decent positions down the right but with no centre forward there was nobody to pick out. Replaced by Amad early in second half as United needed more attacking threat. 8 Diogo Dalot was substituted before the hour mark Credit: Getty CASEMIRO - 6 More talk of a move away in recne t weeks but here he was starting the new season in the middle. Used his experience to keep United in the ascendancy before making way for fresh legs of Ugarte. Man Utd vs Chelsea fan debate | Stoppage Time BRUNO FERNANDES - 6 Some questions over where the skipper will play with the new forwards arriving but he can play deeper if needed and showed that here. Almost created an equaliser with cross for Sesko header. 8 Bruno Fernandes tried to gee up his team-mates Credit: Getty PATRICK DORGU - 6 Looks like he has settled in now after taking time to find his feet following January move. Sliced an early effort wide but came so close to equaliser with shot that smacked the post. Nice cross for Mbeuemo too. BRYAN MBEUMO - 8 Early chance shot straight at Raya, overhead kick just wide and brought a flying save out of Raya. Hugely promising first appearance at OT for the Cameroon forward. 8 Bryan Mbeumo was making his Man Utd debut Credit: Reuters 8 MASON MOUNT - 6 Got the nod to start when many were expecting Sesko. Saw an effort blocked, some nice link up play and did a job on Arsenal's midfield but then made way for the new £74 million forward midway through the second half. MATHEUS CUNHA - 8 Super run through a crowd of players before shot straight at Raya showed what he is all about. Caused Arsenal's normally secure backline plenty of problems. United fans are going to love the Brazilian. 8 Matheus Cunha arrived from Wolves over the summer Credit: Reuters SUBSTITUTES Amad Diallo (for Dalot, 55) - 6 Gave United more of an attacking threat but could not find a way through. Manuel Ugarte (for Casemiro, 65) - 5 Fired a long range shot high and wide late on when he should have done better. Benjamin Sesko (for Mount, 65) - 5 Huge ovation for the new boy and a couple of half chances – should have been on earlier. Harry Maguire (for Shaw, 80) - 5 Booked before he had even had a touch – then pushed up front in search of an equaliser.

Chelsea 0 Crystal Palace 0: New-look Blues a huge disappointment as VAR saves them after Eze free-kick disallowed
feeling blue Chelsea 0 Crystal Palace 0: New-look Blues a huge disappointment as VAR saves them after Eze free-kick disallowed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHELSEA's opening to the new season fell as flat as their latest plans to celebrate being crowned world champions. Problems with a new ticketing system delayed the unveiling of two rather underwhelming banners. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Eberechi Eze saw an opener disallowed over a rarely seen law of the game Credit: Reuters 9 The attacker blasted a free-kick past Robert Sanchez, but it was ruled out due to Marc Guehi's proximity to the wall Credit: Getty 9 The match became a frustrating back and forth for both sides following the intervention Credit: Getty And the big reveal of the new-look Blues was also a big disappointment. Just five weeks after being crowned kings of the world, their bid to be serious contenders for the Premier League title took an early knock. Winning a glorified invitational event in mid-summer is one thing. Taking three points from a competitive game against most teams in the English top flight is quite another. Boss Enzo Maresca warned as much before the game, reminding everyone that Crystal Palace had beaten Manchester City and champions Liverpool in two showpiece occasions. Palace might even have won but for a VAR intervention. By the letter of Law 13 - unlucky for some - Marc Guehi had been too close to the Chelsea wall when he cleared out Moises Caicedo. Tottenham target Eberechi Eze smashed the free kick past Robert Sanchez and celebrated like it might be his last goal for the Eagles. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 9 Eze was distraught after his opener was denied Credit: EPA 9 Guehi was the unlucky victim of the unusual rule being called into effect Credit: Getty Then referee Darren England was called to the monitor and agreed it should be ruled out. Neither side did enough to deserve to win, creating few chances between them. Ex-Premier League ref on Eberechi Eze's disallowed goal vs Chelsea But Chelsea will be the more disappointed that a third game in the row between the two teams ended in stalemate. After the disappointment of the Club World Cup banners, genuine joy almost arrived inside three minutes when Marc Cucurella headed a corner goalwards, but Palace's Ismaila Sarr nodded the ball off the line. Meanwhile the away fans were in no mood to celebrate their own recent success, in the FA Cup and Community Shield. And no wonder. Although cup final matchwinner Eze and captain Marc Guehi both started the game, both may be gone before the transfer window closes. What is certain is that the Europa League place they played such a big part in earning, has already been taken off them. The Palace supporters soon launched into a loud, foul-mouthed chant cursing Uefa, former owner John Textor, whose involved with French club Lyon caused the issue, and Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, whose complaint led to his club being promoted from the Conference League at Palace's expense. Within 13 minutes, the travelling support could add VAR to the list of those conspiring against them. Eze thought he had given his team the lead with a thumping free kick. But VAR Hames Bell advised referee England to take a look at the monitor. Most neutrals will feel it was a clever, legitimate goal. Or no less legitimate than the set-piece routines that involved blatant blocking of opponents, with zero intention to play the ball. But Guehi's shoulder-barge on Caicedo led to the goal being ruled out. Palace were encouraged, though, and a fine move ended with Jean-Philippe Mateta drawing a save from Robert Sanchez. Chelsea lacked any kind of attacking flow, with Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro in particular denied space by a well-drilled Palace defence. 9 Enzo Maresca will not be pleased with the Blues' performance at Stamford Bridge Credit: Reuters Blues defender Trevoh Chalobah should have scored, rather than ballooning the ball over the bar when it fell to him after some penalty-area pinball. But otherwise the home team created precious little. Was the lack of fluency caused by the absence of Levi Colwill? Maresca had complained pre-match about the club's reluctance to buy him a new ball-playing centre back and said Tosin Adarabioyo was the only fit central defender capable of playing the Colwill role. Tosin was then injured in Saturday training, so rookie defender Josh Acheampong made only his third Premier League start. The biggest Chelsea cheers of the half were for Acheampong's crunching tackle on Daniel Munoz, and for his brave follow-up challenge which drew a foul from Mateta that earned the Palace striker a booking. 9 Cole Palmer was not able to drag his side to three points on opening weekend Credit: Getty Palace, too, struggled to fashion chances and looked most dangerous from set-pieces. Little changed early in the second half and Maresca had seen enough after less than nine minutes. Neither of his wingers had been effective, but it was Jamie Gittens who came off, with Pedro Neto swapping to the left side. On came teenage sensation Estevao to huge acclaim. Moments later Mateta should have been sent off. His foul on Caicedo was spiteful and fully deserving of a second yellow card. Estevao's first action was to rinse Guehi and cross just too high for Neto to head in at the far post. 9 Willian Estevao impressed early on in his Premier League debut Credit: Reuters Chelsea began to take a firm grip on the game, camped in the Palace half. When a Palmer cross was deflected into Estevao's path, he first miscontrolled the ball, then sent it flashing high and wide. With 17 minutes to go, Maresca sent on Liam Delap to be the hero, to no avail. 9 Liam Delap also featured for the Blues, but could not make the impact he was hoping for Credit: PA Eze forced a save from Sanchez late on but neither side deserved to win.
