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.
