Arsenal's Riccardo Calafiori steals the show against Man City, leaving Pep Guardiola to kick chairs in despair!

In a dramatic clash at the Etihad Stadium, Arsenal managed to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a nail-biting 2-2 draw against Manchester City. Among the talking points was the incredible performance from Arsenal's newest star, Riccardo Calafiori, who was instrumental in the match, netting a stunning equalizer that sent Gunners fans into rapture. The Italian defender, who had been linked with a move to Liverpool just this summer, showed exactly why the London club was eager to secure his services.

Pep Guardiola, however, had a very different perspective on the match. After witnessing Calafiori's swerving wondergoal that levelled the scores, the Manchester City manager was seen kicking a chair in a fit of frustration. His reaction became a viral sensation, making it clear just how much that equalizer meant to both teams in this epic title tussle. Guardiola's emotions were a mix of awe and fury, and many fans took to social media to share in his pain while also celebrating Calafiori’s moment in the limelight.

The Italian’s impressive performance didn’t just leave Guardiola fuming; it sent ripples through the online football community. Fans were quick to react, with many joking that Calafiori “isn’t just good looks.” The defender not only dazzled on the field but also sparked a frenzy on social media, as passionate supporters shared video clips, memes, and congratulatory messages celebrating his debut goal. It’s a classic case of a player grabbing the spotlight on a big stage, and Calafiori did just that — in style!

Interestingly, Calafiori’s goal was not just a key moment for Arsenal but also historically significant. It marked the twelfth-fastest goal scored by an Italian in Premier League history and was a much-awaited highlight for a player making his full debut. As the league heats up and Arsenal eyes the title, it seems Riccardo Calafiori is no longer just another face in the squad — he’s becoming a fan favorite, proving that the Gunners made the right choice to bring him on board. Watch out, rest of the league, Calafiori is just getting started!
