Many mixed opinions appeared at MU's first goal against Arsenal, in the great battle in the first round of the Premier League at Old Trafford.
In the 13th minute, Arsenal enjoyed a corner on the left wing, and as usual, the person who performed was midfielder Declan Rice. The British star hangs the ball into the penalty area, creating a familiar chaotic scene.
Arsenal players know what they need to do and they have made the defense wobble. Notably, in the 5m50 round, namely right in front of goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, center -back William Saliba was present to put pressure.
The slow -moving tape showed that Saliba constantly pushed into Bayindir, causing the goalkeeper to lose balance. At the time of the ball poured down in front of him, Bayindir was impacted by Saliba, making his jump unwanted.
After that, the ball passed by the left hand of the Turkish goalkeeper, creating conditions for defender Riccardo Calafiori to lighten the opportunity to finish close to simply open the score for Arsenal.
Many people think that Bayindir has made a serious mistake in the situation that led to MU's goals, from the way of judging the ball drop to personal handling. However, there were also people who commented that the error was not completely belonged to Bayindir because Saliba was too mischievous, even it seemed that the Arsenal center -back had made a mistake.
In fact, the referee Simon Hooper and the Var team did not have any move in checking this goal, despite the situation that the director returned quite many times.
In general, Arsenal is still very strong with many tricks in fixed situations, especially from corner penalties, and MU has not yet been able to help this weakness from last season.
