The Notebook: Erling Haaland's Community Shield curse continues while Mikel Arteta's tactical switches keep his stars on their toes

Arsenal claimed their first silverware in three years thanks to a penalty shootout victory over Manchester City in the FA Community Shield final.

Cole Palmer had given City a late lead with a wondrous strike before Leandro Trossard netted in the 11th minute of added time, setting up the shootout which the Gunners won 4-1.

From the jaws of defeat, Mikel Arteta had snatched a sweet victory over his old mentor, Pep Guardiola, and showed the Premier League what his side are all about with the season curtain-raiser just days away.
