Arsenal became the champion of the Community Shield in a penalty shootout at Wembley Stadium, where they won their seventeenth title in this competition, defeating Manchester City, with Kevin De Bruyne and Rodrigo Hernández missing their penalties, after Leandro Trossard equalized in the 101st minute of the match. The game went to penalties due to the late goal by the 'Gunners', which hit Akanji in the last moment of added time, when the match seemed to be sealed in favor of City, who had been leading since the 77th minute with a precise left-footed shot by Cole Palmer.
