The match at Villa Park saw Arsenal secure back-to-back wins in the new season, with Thomas Partey and Leandro Trossard finding the net in the second half.
The victory was also sweet revenge against former Arsenal manager Unai Emery who did the double against the Gunners last season to help end their title dreams.
Calafiori, who joined Arsenal this summer, came on as a substitute for Jurrien Timber in the final 11 minutes of the game.
However, it was a post-match image of the young defender that caught fans' attention and quickly went viral on social media.

The picture shows Calafiori in a stance that, according to many fans, makes him look more like a goalkeeper than an outfield player. This observation led to a flurry of comments on social media platforms.
One fan humorously remarked, "He looks like he's meant to be a goalkeeper," to which another replied, "Played like it too." The banter continued with another supporter jokingly claiming, "I'm actually his goalkeeper. He's an Alpha athlete who scored into me last night."
Some fans drew comparisons to other goalkeepers, with one noting a resemblance to Carnesecchi, while another said, "He is giving Yan Sommer vibes."
