Arsenal claimed the Community Shield with a dominant 3-0 victory over Manchester City at Wembley, featuring goals from Riccardo Calafiori, Kai Havertz, and Martin Odegaard.
Manchester City's performance was marred by the absence of Rodri, who is reportedly nearing a £65 million transfer to Barcelona, and a struggling debut from £116 million signing Elliot Anderson.
Manager Enzo Maresca faces immediate pressure to address midfield balance and defensive gaps before City's opening Premier League match against Bournemouth next Sunday.
