Arsenal News: Double Transfer Announcement Near After Beating Man City
In the opening match of the 2023/24 campaign, Arsenal emerged victorious, clinching the first available trophy by defeating Manchester City on penalties in the FA Community Shield at Wembley. After falling behind due to Cole Palmer’s goal for Pep Guardiola’s side in the second half, Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard came off the bench and delivered a decisive equalizer in the 101st minute. His deflected shot found the back of the City net, sending the game to a nerve-wracking penalty shootout.
