Manchester City must quickly put a discouraging Community Shield outing behind them as they start their Premier League campaign at home to Bournemouth on Sunday.
An incomplete City team now led by Enzo Maresca was put to the sword by the swaggering Premier League champions, who cruised to a 3–0 victory in Cardiff. Maresca’s team struggled to lay a glove on Arsenal, except for a flurry towards the end of the first half, and also looked concerningly frail defensively.
