Martin Odegaard swings it in - and Gabriel goes down screaming for a penalty. But the referee says free-kick to City instead. Abdukodir Khusanov and Gabriel were both pulling each other's shirts.

But they win another one. Martin Odegaard to take this.

Noni Madueke's corner is headed away.

First corner of the game to Arsenal as Josko Gvardiol blocks Noni Madueke's low cross. Here we go...

Manchester City are trying to attack but moments later it's back to Gianluigi Donnarumma, who pumps a long ball down the field.

Riccardo Calafiori's goal for Arsenal after 23 seconds is the first scored in the opening minute of the Community Shield since Bobby Owen for Manchester City against West Bromwich Albion in 1968.

Another dangerous Arsenal attack. Riccardo Calafiori bombs forward again and finds Christos Tzolis, whose cross is deflected into the gloves of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Two of Riccardo Calafiori's five Arsenal goals have come against Manchester City.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland drops deep and almost runs into Phil Foden. Then Elliot Anderson hooks a cross behind for a goal-kick.

Not a great start.

Enzo Maresca's Manchester City reign lasted 23 seconds before the first goal conceded.

They started incredibly sharply, played well from the kick-off and the through ball is magnificent.
