Consider the curtain raised. Thanks for joining us this afternoon as Arsenal won the Community Shield.

Read Gary Rose's match report from Wembley here.

The Premier League starts in five days with Manchester City visiting Burnley. See you then.

Entering the final stages of Sunderland v Ipswich in the Champo.

Follow that here.

Erling Haaland has failed to score in his last six appearances for Manchester City, having previously never gone more than three games without scoring for the club.

He failed to attempt a shot for the second time since joining last year, the other instance coming against Spurs in February.

Leandro Trossard has been directly involved in 12 goals for Arsenal since joining from Brighton (two goals, 10 assists), the second most of any player for the club in that time after Bukayo Saka (13).

Manchester City

Manchester City goalscorer Cole Palmer to ITV: "Very close. Gutted to concede in the last minutes.

"We have to pick ourselves up and go again.

"When I got the ball Pep told me to be myself. I cut in and saw the far corner. Thankfully it went in.

"We'll have to see what the plan is for next season. Hopefully play as many games as possible. I feel fresh from England, the [Euro U21s] final wasn't that long ago.

"Hopefully we can win the Treble again but it will be a difficult ask. The lads are sharp in training."

Kevin de Bruyne has assisted 29 goals since the start of last season for Manchester City - the next most by a Premier League player across this period is 15 by Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.

Manchester City are the second team to lose the Community Shield in three consecutive years after Manchester United, who lost four in a row between 1998 and 2001.

Arsenal have won the Community Shield for the 17th time, the second-most of any club after Manchester United (21), moving ahead of Liverpool (16).

Now Arsenal bring the Shield down to the pitch so they can pose some more with it. Declan Rice has a little smell of the celebratory champagne bottle in his hand.

Paul: It is “only” a community shield but beating City in any game is not easy to do. They’re the best team in the world. Better to go into a season with a win in any game than a loss or draw.

Sarah Morgan: This Gunner before Community Shield: Penalties aren't a fair way to settle a game.

After: I like them much better now and we were edging that game towards the end.

Would I feel the same if it was the other way round? No. Am I alone in my double standard? Doubt it!

Martin Odegaard lifts the shield and the crowd goes wild.

Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber get a (minor) bit of silverware in their first game for Arsenal.

Arsenal players get their medals, they're loving it.

Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice speaking to ITV: "I am buzzing, this is what I visioned when I joined.

"City gave us what we expected, but I am buzzing – so happy. You have to have the patience against them, you have to have mini games within the game against them like the manager said to us before.

"To win today, my first for the club.

"I feel I've grown a lot in the last three weeks. There's a lot of information to take in of what the manager wants. I'm eager to learn and keep improving.

"I'm sure we can achieve anything this seaosn - we just need to remain focused."

Arsenal

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to ITV: "We worked hard on it. We've been working hard for two years. We haven't had luck which was probably needed in previous seasons. We've stuck at it. It's worked today."

On what this means for the season: "I'm not sure. City are a bit behind their pre-season. For us, it's a statement. It's a marker to know we can go and beat Man City in a big game when it matters.

"I'm not sure what it'll be like this season. But that mental block is gone. We're ready to push on now."

Mubeen Sadak: Even City didn't celebrate this much when they won the Treble

Arsenal were desperate to win that, that was probably the most exciting part of the game aside from Palmer's bit of quality. Arsenal won't care!

That's a brilliant penalty, top corner but no keeper is stopping that. Two keepers couldn't stop that!

It's not quite a cup final but not quite a friendly either. Might as well enjoy it if you win it and Arsenal's players, staff and fans certainly are.

For the third time in seven years, Arsenal win the Community Shield on penalties.

Well done Gunners.
