Defending Premier League champions Arsenal issued a warning to their title rivals with a hugely impressive 3-0 win over Man City in Cardiff. It took Arsenal less than 30 seconds to break the deadlock, Riccardo Calafiori tucking home following a superb through ball from Myles Lewis-Skelly. Kai Havertz headed Arsenal two goals in front midway through the first half following an assist from Gunners summer signing Christos Tzolis.

Captain Martin Odegaard scored his side’s third as Arsenal thumped Manchester City in Enzo Maresca’s first competitive game since replacing Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium. Arsenal look incredibly strong going into the new season but Arteta confirmed he was still hoping to bolster his defensive options before the summer transfer window closes. Asked whether his focus is now on defensive reinforcements after the £75m deal for Bruno Guimaraes, Arteta said: ‘We know there are certain areas that through injuries we are weaker and we need to strengthen. Arsenal thumped Man City to lift the Community Shield (Picture: Getty) ‘We’re trying to do that and we’ve been trying to do that for weeks. Only when the opportunity is right for the club will we do it.’ Discussing Arsenal’s statement win more generally, Arteta added: ‘A really good performance ‘To show the desire we showed and the reaction I was really impressed. I told them I really enjoyed watching them play.’ Arsenal are without star defender William Saliba (Picture: Getty) Arteta is keen to sign a new centre-back after losing William Saliba for an ‘extended period’ through an injury sustained during France’s World Cup campaign. Arsenal will also be without Jurrien Timber for the start of the season. The Gunners have expressed interest in signing England international Ezri Konsa but Aston Villa are holding out for a fee of £60m, while Arsenal have so far only indicated they are willing to pay £45m. Arsenal celebrate their Community Shield victory (Picture: PA) Arsenal also admire Konsa’s England teammate Jarell Quansah, a former Liverpool player who featured at this summer’s World Cup. Discussing Saliba and Timber’s injuries ahead of the Community Shield against Man City, Arteta said: ‘Jurrien is progressing really well. ‘He is on the pitch, we are ramping up now with certain actions and especially the volume and the load. ‘I think he is on a good trajectory, but there is still a few weeks to go. Wilo, as we all know, it’s more a long-term injury. ‘We have to wait and see [on the timeframe of their return]. He needs to start to train with the group in the next week or so hopefully, and then see how he progresses from there. ‘It’s been a long-term issue, and we want to make sure that every step that we take is the right one, he feels right to do that, because he’s such an important player for us.’ Arsenal begin their Premier League title defence with a home match against newly-promoted Coventry City on Friday night.

Arsenal won the Community Shield – but should one player have been sent off? (Photo: Getty) Stuart Pearce claimed that one Arsenal star should have been sent off during the 3-0 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday. The Gunners fired a warning shot to their Premier League rivals in Cardiff, humiliating Enzo Maresca on his City debut to lift the first trophy of the English football season. Riccardo Calafiori opened the scoring after just 23 seconds before Kai Havertz doubled the lead and captain Martin Odegaard tapped in the third minutes after the break. It was a great game overall for Calafiori, who will be hoping this is a sign of things to come after two injury-disrupted seasons at the Emirates, but the left-back did have one very poor moment. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. With the score at 1-0, the Italy international challenged Abdukodir Khusanov for the ball in the box and went down, with Arsenal fans screaming for a penalty. Referee Samuel Barrott instantly blew his whistle but gave a free-kick to City and booked Calafiori for simulation, with replays showing that the 24-year-old blatantly dived. Former City player and manager Pearce, on commentary duty for talkSPORT, was left outraged by what he saw, saying: ‘Well, Khusanov went down very early, kept his feet away from it. Riccardo Calafiori scored the fastest goal in Community Shield history after just 23 seconds (Photo: Getty) ‘And it was nothing more than a pathetic dive, it really was. ‘Listen, if I was Calafiori and you look at the referee and you claim it’s a penalty, I’d give him a double yellow for that and get him off. ‘If you’re going to outlaw diving in the game… that was pathetic.’ Calafiori was booked for a blatant dive early in the match (Photo: Getty) Ultimately, it was a deserved win for Arsenal ahead of beginning their Premier League title defence this Friday against Championship champions Coventry City. ‘It was such an important game and an important test for us. It was to show our mentality after last season,’ Calafiori told TNT Sports post-match. ‘Amazing. It helps the team a lot when you score that early. ‘I try always to give a solution to my team-mates. The pass was unbelievable. Myles gave me the perfect ball. It’s 70% him and 30% me. ‘Christos was one of the best players on the pitch today. It’s close to perfection this kind of performance.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Arsenal's 3-0 win over Manchester City is the biggest margin of victory in a Community Shield game since 2014, when the Gunners beat the same opponent by the same scoreline. Riccardo Calafiori's goal for Arsenal after 23 seconds is the first scored in the opening minute of the Community Shield since Bobby Owen for Manchester City against West Bromwich Albion in 1968.
The Spanish giants had been forced to wait to see Gordon feature following England's run to the World Cup semi-finals, contributing to the 25-year-old starting his pre-season late.
Arsenal eased to victory over Man City in the Community Shield to claim the first silverware of the season, with the Premier League champions making the perfect start through Riccardo Calafiori.

The reigning Premier League champions laid down something of a marker with a comprehensive victory that will leave new City boss Enzo Maresca contemplating the size of the task ahead of him. First-half goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Kai Havertz set the Gunners on their way, before Odegaard iced the cake with a superb solo effort just after half-time. By his own high standards, the Norway international endured a difficult campaign last time around with injury hampering him and Eberechi Eze providing a genuine threat to his starting role.

After a successful World Cup campaign, Odegaard looks to be back to his best and a stunning display against City vindicated his decision to return to pre-season earlier than expected. ‘These moments are great for these players because it gives them a new confidence,’ Keown told TNT Sports, watching Odegaard and his teammates celebrate the win. ‘I saw Odegaard with a new swagger in his play. For large parts of last year maybe he wasn’t at his best but he certainly looked like it today, some real creativity from him. Martin Odegaard was back to his best against Man City (Picture: Getty) ‘I talked about his swagger coming back and those connections. There was nutmegs, little changes of direction, it just seems it’s all coming back again. ‘He sat the goalkeeper down beautifully for the goal, a top goalkeeper by the way. He looks like he’s comning back with a new intention, he came back earlier by all accounts. ‘He hasn’t had much of a break because he missed so much of last season so he can afford to do that. ‘The manager gave him a large chunk of this match, he’s going to come under pressure but he’s handling it really well and that’s what the manager wants. He wants him to play is football and it looks like it’s there.’ Take a bow, Martin Ødegaard 😮💨Arsenal are flying against Man City!📺 Watch live on TNT Sports & HBO Max pic.twitter.com/cMHbIyJ90D— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) August 16, 2026 Those sentiments were echoed by BBC pundit and former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin who fears that a rejuvenated Odegaard underlines Arsenal’s status as title favourites. He said: ‘Martin Odegaard looked back to his very, very best and it’s like a new, brilliant signing. Eze back up and running, like a new signing as well. Madueke had a number of injuries last season, Kai Havertz as well. ‘They probably only need one more signing and they are, by some distance, the team to beat this season.’ Odegaard, himself, meanwhile was delighted with the performance of his team and insists he and his colleagues are hungry for more trophies. Martin Odegaard scored Arsenal’s third goal against Man City (Picture: Getty) He said: ‘We played some brilliant football. Great performance and a great way to start the season. ‘I always want to help the team as much possible with goals and assists. I want to score more goals. ‘We showed our level today. We’re showed we’re ready. We’re serious and we want to do it again. ‘We want to attack it. We want to do it again.
