The story in brief

26-second read

Riccardo Calafiori sparked Arsenal’s comeback against Leeds United on Saturday, and he did it in boots honouring one of English football’s most famous goals. As noted by LiveScore , the Italy defender was the first player to wear and score in Adidas’ new David Beckham Predators.

The special edition marks 25 years since Beckham’s free-kick against Greece sent England to the 2002 World Cup. Arsenal trailed to James Justin’s 55th-minute strike, but Calafiori levelled seven minutes later from close range after Ben White nodded Noni Madueke’s cross back across goal.

Bruno Guimarães then struck the winner.
