Arsenal defeated Manchester City 3-0 in the 2026 Community Shield at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. Arsenal scored early in each half, with Riccardo Calafiori and Martin Odegaard finding the net alongside a header from Kai Havertz. Despite strong attacking play from City, including chances for Erling Haaland, they failed to convert. Both teams made numerous substitutions as they managed player minutes ahead of the Premier League season. City's focus will now shift to their opening match against AFC Bournemouth next Sunday.
