By accuratenewsng 06/08/2023

Arsenal beat Manchester City 4-1 on penalties to claim the 2023 Community Shield at Wembley.

Leandro Trossard had equalized in the 101st minute of normal time.

Instead, they were handed a third straight Community Shield defeat.

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.
