Honestly I was expecting Manchester City to win this Community Shield title one way or another. I waited for a good competition at the beginning of the season of course. Because this was the first official game for both teams so I didn't expect so many goals. We were about to find out which side was readier than the other one.

Palmer's goal was really lovely and I thought the game was going to end by 1-0. But it was unbelievable that there was a stoppage time of more than 10 minutes and Trossard scored the equalizer in the last moments. This was the turning point for Arsenal as they won by 4-1 on penalties.

To be honest, before the game I also thought Manchester City were close to winning, but Arsenal were tactically better than Manchester City in this game. They played a very good game against Manchester City. Arteta did well against his former coach Pep. However, I think Arsenal still need a good striker. Especially, they need a quality striker who can play in the number 9 position. On the other hand, we saw in this game that Manchester City are not ready yet. Last season they didn't start the league well, but they performed well afterwards. This season they could be in the same situation again.
I love the fighting spirit that Arsenal put in and didn't give up the match until Trossad had an opportunity to equalise the game. It was an unbelievable goal for Man City and Pep,for they were waiting for the last whistle so that they can celebrate their victory. But as luck was on Arsenal side,they snatched the victory at the last minutes from Man City which was sealed up by a wonderful penalty shoot out that gave Arsenal the best opportunity to revenge their victory that was snatched from them by Man City last year. Arsenal started this season in a miraculous way.
