Arsenal defender, Riccardo Calafiori, has been awarded with the Goal of the Month award for September 2024 for his sensational curling effort that beat Ederson in the 2-2 draw with Manchester City.
Calafiori repaid Mikel Arteta’s faith for granting him his first start in such a momentous fixture and his goal showed great levels of confidence as he executed the attempt to perfection after receiving the carefully-threaded pass from Gabriel Martinelli.
That goal was the equalizer for Erling Haaland’s initial effort and when Gabriel nodded the ball home at point blank range, Arsenal was on the ascendancy but a red card to Leandro Trossard put the team in the lurch and they had to defend valiantly for 45 minutes, which included fielding an already injured Ben White to support the defense.
