Calafiori’s fast start inspires Arsenal to big Community Shield win over Manchester City
Sports3 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported13m ago
Arsenal secured a dominant Community Shield victory over Manchester City in Cardiff, with manager Mikel Arteta's side delivering a crushing performance. The match marked a miserable competitive debut for Manchester City's new manager, Enzo Maresca.
The Gunners seized control of the game early when Riccardo Calafiori scored a smart opening goal just 24.5 seconds into the match, following an assist involvement by Myles Lewis-Skelly. Martin Odegaard and a rejuvenated Arsenal squad ultimately outclassed and eviscerated their opponents, leading to Arteta's side lifting the trophy.
