Arsenal came from behind to upset treble winners Manchester City on penalties following a 1-1 draw in the FA Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday.

City substitute Cole Palmer's 77th-minute goal looked to have secured yet more silverware for Pep Guardiola's side, but another replacement, Arsenal's Leandro Trossard, levelled the scores with a deflected shot deep into stoppage time.

The Gunners were perfect from the spot in the shoot-out, with Martin Odegaard, Trossard, Bukayo Saka and Fabio Vieira all on target, while City's Kevin de Bruyne fired his kick against the crossbar before Aaaron Ramsdale thwarted Rodri.

The Arsenal goalkeeper was quick to claim a psychological blow had been struck ahead of the start of the new Premier League season. "For us, it's a statement," said Ramsdale. "It's a marker to know we can go and beat Man City in a big game when it matters.
