Arsenal have won the Community Shield on penalties after Kevin de Bruyne and Rodri missed from the spot in a shoot-out.
Match Report
Arsenal's new signing Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber all started but were unable to make a real impact as Man City came away victorious.
Havertz tested Stefan Ortega twice in the first half but was unable to convert either of his chances.
The breakthrough came after Pep Guardiola made several changes, with De Bruyne and Palmer coming on and the pair linked up to secure the win for Man City as Palmer converted in the 77th minute for the Citizens.
However, there was drama at the very end, with Leandro Trossard netting an equaliser in the 11th-minute of stoppage time.
With the clash heading straight to a penalty shoot-out, it was De Bruyne up first for City, following Martin Odegaard's conversion - and the Belgian smashed his effort against the crossbar.
Goalscorer Trossard followed next and sent Ortega the wrong way to convert his spot-kick before Bernardo Silva followed and did the same.
Bukayo Saka scored his effort calmly as Arsneal were in control.
Rodri was up next for City but saw his effort saved by Aaron Ramsdale before Fabio Vieira hit his strike into the top corner to give Arteta's side the victory.

Arsenal won plate and gain confidence before EPL starts cos City knew that an elephant won’t stay on the top of the table.
Can you not count? Already 2 trophies. You cannot tell what is a trophy and what is not. Have a good day by the end of the week you would have gotten over yourself.

Haaland has now gone 6 matches without a goal. Yesterday Saliba and Gabriel put him in their pocket. EPL teams will stop him this time around. He wouldn't scored as much as this season

Truth be be told as an ardent chelsea fan I'm more than happy that Arsenal our bitter rivals won the Community Shield ystday. My happiness stems from the fact City shld NOT be seen as the only club in England that shld be winning trophies as if other clubs do not worth any laurels. Other clubs shld now buckle up to make sure the 3 available trophies are won by different clubs.

Mikel Arteta has now won more trophies in the last three years (3) than Spurs have in the last 32 years (2).
Harsh but true, truth is hard to say and let it be told plainly. That round face Daniel Levy cannot successfully lead the team to glory.
