Chelsea and Arsenal started with different results in the Premier League

• Chelsea played a draw with Crystal Palace in their opening match
• Arsenal secured a win over Manchester United
• Nottingham Forest began the season with a 3-1 victory

In the first round of the Premier League, which took place on August 17, 2025, Chelsea failed to secure a victory, drawing 0-0 with Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. This match became the first for the team after their success in the Club World Cup.

On the other hand, Arsenal achieved an important victory, winning 1-0 against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The only goal in the match was scored by defender Ricardo Calafiori, who converted a corner kick from goalkeeper Altai Bayndira.

This victory is significant for Arsenal, especially as the team aims to improve its results after three seasons, in which they finished second. Coach Mikel Arteta is under pressure, as the team has not won the championship since the 2003/04 season.

On the other hand, Manchester United continues to struggle to improve its results after last season, when the team finished in 15th place. Despite significant expenses on new players, the team failed to capitalize on their chances in the match.

In another match, Nottingham Forest secured a convincing 3-1 victory over Brentford, where Chris Wood stood out with two goals.

Before the start of all matches, a moment of silence was held in honor of Diogo Jota and Andrei Silvi, who tragically passed away in a car accident in Spain last month.
