Arsenal are out to win everything this season, says club captain Martin Odegaard (Picture: Getty) Martin Odegaard sent a stark warning to Arsenal’s rivals following the side’s statement Community Shield victory over Manchester City, claiming he ‘wants to win everything’ over the coming season. Goals from Riccardo Calafiori, Kai Havertz and Odegaard ensured the English champions picked up the first piece of silverware on offer this term, with City offering very little by way of response at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. Summer signing Christos Tzolis shone in the Welsh capital, assisting Havertz and Odegaard either side of half-time after Calafiori had opened the scoring just 23 seconds into the contest. Bruno Guimaraes was also handed his debut following a high-profile £75million summer move from Newcastle and looked comfortable in the middle of the park alongside the impressive Myles-Lewis Skelly.

Mikel Arteta’s men will no doubt be looking to carry their barnstorming form into the opening match of their Premier League title defence when they play host to newly promoted Coventry City at the Emirates on Friday. Enzo Maresca, meanwhile, will be under pressure to oversee immediate improvements on the back of a lacklustre and disjointed performance from City, who kick off their top-flight campaign at home to Bournemouth in a week’s time. ‘We played some brilliant football, we showed our level,’ Arsenal captain Odegaard said shortly after the final whistle. The Gunners breezed past City to get their hands on the Community Shield (Picture: Getty) Odegaard put Arsenal out of sight just moments into the second half (Picture: Getty) ‘We showed we’re ready, serious and want to do it again. ‘We want to attack it. When you get a taste of how nice it is, you want to do it again. ‘We want to win everything.’ Arteta’s men start the new Premier League season against Coventry City on Friday (Picture: Getty) Facing the media after the Gunners’ triumph, Arteta reserved special praise for new boy Tzolis, highlighting the winger’s ‘intelligence’ and ‘quality’ in the final third. ‘He’s come into the team and really organically he’s fitted in,’ the Arsenal head coach told reporters. ‘He’s a really intelligent boy, and he has a massive quality, which is that in the last 30 metres, he is so composed to pick people out in and around the box or to finish. ‘He has shown that two or three times, and he was decisive.’ Guimaraes made his Arsenal debut in Wales (Picture: Getty) Asked if there was room for improvement in Tzolis’ game, the Spaniard added: ‘With more quality around him, the numbers will be higher. It is not a coincidence. ‘He is a really consistent player in everything he does and, yes, I’m really impressed with him.’ Arsenal have now lifted the Community Shield on 18 occasions in their history – just three short of Manchester United’s total, who hold the record with 21 victories. Arteta has steered the north Londoners to three of these wins as a manager, lifting the prize in 2020 and 2023 prior to the team’s latest triumph. He also won the Community Shield twice as a player, first in 2014 and then again 12 months later. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Arsenal sent out a warning to the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Man City in the Community Shield (Credits: Nick Potts/PA Wire) Martin Keown hailed the return to form of Martin Odegaard after the Arsenal captain starred in a superb 3-0 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield. 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.
