What's new: Riccardo Calafiori scored after 24 seconds as Arsenal opened the season with a one-sided win in Cardiff.
Arsenal opened the new season by beating Manchester City 3-0 in the Community Shield, with Riccardo Calafiori scoring after 24.5 seconds before Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard added the other goals. The match was played at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, where Arsenal outplayed City from the start and rarely let them settle. Havertz doubled the lead in the 28th minute, and Odegaard made it 3-0 three minutes into the second half after fooling Gianluigi Donnarumma. The result gave Arsenal an early trophy after last season's Premier League title, while Enzo Maresca's first competitive game in charge of City exposed problems in defense and control.
