Arsenal has started the English season how the team hopes to end it — by getting the better of Manchester City.
Arsenal beat City 4-1 in a penalty shootout, after equalizing in the 101st minute in regulation time to draw 1-1, to win the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
Cole Palmer curled in a 78th-minute goal after coming off the bench to give City the lead, only for Leandro Trossard to score with a deflected shot in the 11th minute of second-half stoppage time, taking the game to penalties. In 2005, another Vieira — Patrick — scored the winning penalty in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
One positive for City, however, was the sight of De Bruyne coming on for the final half hour for his first minutes since the Champions League final in June, when he came off with a hamstring injury. Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol, who joined City for 90 million pounds on Saturday, was not involved.
