Arsenal 1-1 Man City (4-1 on pens): Gunners Lift Community Shield | Football/Soccer
Sun, 06 Aug 2023 14:00
Arsenal beat Manchester City 4-1 on penalties to claim the Community Shield at Wembley, after Leandro Trossard had equalised in the 101st minute of normal time.
Treble-winners City looked on course to add a fourth trophy of the year to their collection, with Cole Palmer's fine curling shot giving them the lead on 77 minutes. Instead they were handed a third straight Community Shield defeat.
Trossard's last-gasp effort deflected in off Manuel Akanji to send the contest to penalties, where Kevin De Bruyne - on his return from injury - blasted against the bar and Rodri saw his effort saved.
Arsenal were immaculate from 12 yards, with Martin Odegaard, Trossard, Bukayo Saka and Fabio Vieira hitting the net to land a morale-boosting blow for the Gunners in the season's curtain-raiser.
There had been plenty of positives for Arsenal during the 90 minutes and they should have led at the break after new signing Kai Havertz missed two good chances. There were good performances from fellow newcomers Jurrien Timber and £105m man Declan Rice, too, with goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale sharp late on to keep them in the game and set up the grandstand finish.
