Ramsdale saves Rodri’s penalty!
Penalties: Arsenal 3 Manchester City 1
It’s a poor penalty and comfortably saved by the Arsenal goalkeeper. Arsenal are one kick away from winning the Community Shield, something that did not seem plausible deep into stoppage time.

90’+11 Arsenal 1 Manchester City 1
Would you believe it! Arsenal win a corner and City struggle to clear their lines. Trossard shoots and the ball deflects wickedly off Akanji and into the net. They left it late but it’s going to penalties!
Both players are fit enough to play on
90’+8 Arsenal 0 Manchester City 1
Walker and Partey are continuing and this half will probably end up with around 12 minutes of added time.
Walker and Partey go down

We might have a lot more than eight minutes after a nasty clash of heads sees both players stay down for a while.
Eight minutes of added time

That’s a boost for Arsenal, can they get a goal and take this to penalties?
Two great saves from Ramsdale in quick succession

Foden thinks he’s doubled City’s lead but the Arsenal keeper thwarts him from point blank range.
From the resultant corner, Rodri almost catches Ramsdale out with a brilliant diving header but it’s a superb save down low to his right.
Arsenal do not look like taking this to penalties at the moment.
City lead!
77′ Arsenal 0 Manchester City 1
There haven’t been too many chances in this game and it was always going to take something special to break the deadlock and that’s precisely what we’ve just witnessed.
Cole Palmer, who hoped for more opportunities this season, bends one into the top corner with his left foot from the edge of the box. A truly brilliant finish.
Double substitution for Arsenal

Leandro Trossard replaces Gabriel Martinelli while Kieran Tierney is on for Jurrien Timber.
Palmer with a chance
70′ Arsenal 0 Manchester City 0
Excellent work from Foden culminating with the ball reaching Palmer on the right hand side of the box. His shot is deflected over the bar by Timber but that was a real chance for the youngster.
Haaland substituted
64′ Arsenal 0 Manchester City 0
Cole Palmer and Kevin De Bruyne replace Erling Haaland and Mateo Kovacic. The big Norwegian has now gone six games without a goal. Has he lost it? Well, no, obviously not.
City make a change

Phil Foden replaces Jack Grealish.
Stones with the first real chance of the half
52′ Arsenal 0 Manchester City 0

City seeing lots of the ball
50′ Arsenal 0 Manchester City 0
No changes for either side at half time.
A subdued start to the half with City, once again, having the lion’s share of possession.
Half time: Arsenal 0 Manchester City 0
There really isn’t a lot in it what with City dominating the early exchanges but Arsenal really growing into the game as the half wore on.
A word too for Kyle Walker, who captains his side despite continued interest from Bayern Munich. Guardiola is very keen to keep the defender at the club despite the player’s frustration with a lack of minutes last season.
