Arsenal beat Manchester City 4-1 on penalties to win the Community Shield at Wembley, after Leandro Trossard equalised in the 101st minute of normal time.
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 in 77th minute.
But 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.
Arsenal have won the Community Shield for the 17th time, the second-most of any club after Manchester United (21), moving ahead of Liverpool (16).
City are the second team to lose the Community Shield in three consecutive years after Manchester United, who lost four in a row between 1998 and 2001.
