Helps Arsenal secure clean sheet
Calafiori had one cross (zero accurate) and two interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Calafiori recorded two interceptions and one inaccurate cross across the full 90 minutes in Sunday's 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest. He endured a difficult early moment when an underhit pass toward Gabriel allowed Forest to launch a counterattack that ended with Dan Ndoye testing David Raya, but Arsenal recovered to keep the hosts scoreless. Calafiori remained involved in Arsenal's buildup from left-back and helped contain Forest's attacking threats during the closing stages as the visitors secured another important clean sheet.
Adds assist in opener
Calafiori assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 3-0 victory versus Coventry City.
Analysis: Calafiori got in on the offensive fun during the opening match of the Premier League. He created a single chance, but that was all it took for the defender to earn an assist during the win. It was a rout from start-to-finish and Calafiori got to add a clean sheet to his tally. There will be plenty more to come for him as part of the best defense in the league.
