'Arsenal Have Proved They Can Slug It Out With Manchester City': Mikel Arteta
Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal's Community Shield victory against Manchester City proves they can go toe to toe with the treble winners in the Premier League title race. Arteta's side issued a significant statement of intent ahead of the new season by fighting back to beat City 4-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Wembley on Sunday. Cole Palmer's superb curler had given City a 77th minute lead, but Arsenal refused to surrender and Leandro Trossard equalised with a deflected effort 11 minutes into stoppage-time.
