🔥 Calafiori strikes, United's keepers struggle, Arsenal stats shine

Yahoo3 days ago
First day of fire at Old Trafford where the revamped Manchester United of Ruben Amorim, coming from a disastrous championship, hosts the super Arsenal of Mikel Arteta, hunting for the coveted title.
Victor Gyokeres makes his Premier League debut against his mentor Amorim: the new Gunners striker is ready to write his new story in this chapter of his career marked Premier.
CALAFIORI UNLOCKS IT! GOALKEEPER NIGHTMARE FOR UNITED
In the 13th minute, Riccardo Calafiori opens the dance. Corner kick (the home specialty, as we will see) to return towards the United goal.
The trajectory is insidious, but Bayindir, the goalkeeper chosen by Amorim instead of Onana, is disastrous.
Empty exit and goal from the line by Calafiori. Unprophetic words from Amorim, who, justifying Onana's absence, had clarified that Bayindir's starting position was a technical choice.
ARSENAL DEVASTATING ON CORNERS
Another goal from a set piece for Arsenal, which with Arteta has transformed this dynamic into an infallible weapon.
As reported by Opta, in fact, Arsenal have scored 31 goals from corners since the start of the 2023-2024 season. Liverpool, second in this ranking, is stuck at 20.
And when Arsenal's opponent is Manchester United, the London defenders excel. As reported by Opta, three of the Gunners' last four Premier League goals against United have been scored by defenders.

49ers trade for Chiefs receiver Skyy Moore, AP source says

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers agreed to a deal to acquire receiver Skyy Moore from the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday. A person familiar with the trade said the teams will swap sixth- and seventh-round picks in 2027 in the deal that sends Moore to San Francisco. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade can't be finalized until Moore passes a physical. Moore was drafted by Kansas City in the second round in 2022 but hasn't produced much in his first three seasons. He had 43 catches for 494 yards and one TD in 36 games. He didn't catch a single pass last season because of a a core muscle injury. Moore did catch a TD pass in the fourth quarter of Kansas City's 38-35 win in the Super Bowl against Philadelphia following the 2022 season. Moore had an 88-yard punt return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter of a preseason game last Friday at Seattle. The 49ers have gone 227 consecutive regular-season games without a punt return touchdown for the second longest active drought in the NFL. The Niners were in dire need of healthy receivers. Brandon Aiyuk is working his way back from major knee surgery and isn't expected to be able to play until at least Week 6, while fellow starter Jauan Jennings has been out for most of training camp with a calf injury. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday on his radio show that Demarcus Robinson is facing a three-game suspension, pending appeal, after pleading no contest last month to a misdemeanor DUI charge. Rookie Jordan Watkins is out with a high ankle sprain and second-year pro Jacob Cowing is nursing a hamstring injury. Cowing hurt his hamstring the first day of training camp and returned to practice last week. Cowing tweaked the injury on Tuesday and missed practice Wednesday. ___ AP NFL:

Tyson Bagent emotional about his new $10 million deal with Bears

You never truly know the value of your backup quarterback until he steps on for the starter. Bears backup quarterback Tyson Bagent has proved his worth — especially with new head coach Ben Johnson. Bagent earned a reported $10 million two-year deal from the Bears, in a significant raise. It was an emotional day for Bagent as the undrafted free agent out of the Division II Shepherd University in West Viriginia signed a two-year extension that means life-changing money for him and his family. "A lot of people don't know this, but you know, my dad — he's my right-hand man, and he didn't have running water until he was high school. So there are definitely a lot of things and people that I think I can certainly help with this gift I've been blessed with," Bagent said. "It's certainly a weight off my shoulders and my family's shoulders, and it definitely means a lot" Bagent has carried himself with a confidence since he arrived at Halas Hall, saying at the beginning he was mostly faking it until he made it. He still believes he will make it as a starting quarterback — something he thought about before signing the deal. "I think that's pretty much the only reason why I didn't just sign right then and there, you know, a week or so ago," Bagent said. "You know, being around this staff — I think that has just been the biggest part in the decision besides just how much I love the city of Chicago." When asked about any potential luxury purchases now that he has this new contract, Bagent said he has a baby girl on the way, so he is not trying to buy anything too crazy right now.
