Arsenal 3-0 Man City Highlights – Community Shield

Arsenal sent out a statement of intent for the season as they impressively dismissed Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley.

The FA Cup winners took the lead through Santi Cazorla’s angled shot and added to that when Aaron Ramsey drove in a strike to finish a counter-attack.

Premier League champions City came close when Stevan Jovetic had a header hit a post and a shot saved.

But Olivier Giroud’s dipping 25-yard strike secured a Arsenal’s win.
