Arsenal earned a spot of revenge as they beat Manchester City on penalties in the Community Shield after the match ended 1-1 at Wembley on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta's men led the Premier League for 248 days last season before they were reeled in by Pep Guardiola's side, who then marched on to clinch a historic treble.

Arsenal fight back to stun City in Community Shield

But the Gunners have reinforced this summer and new signings Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber all started the match.

It was City who drew first blood, though, as substitute Cole Plamer curled home a beautiful strike in the 77th minute.

Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale made a couple of vital saves before Gunners' substitute Leandro Trossard got them back into the contest with a deflected equaliser deep into stoppage time.

In the resulting shoot-out, Kevin De Bruyne hit the bar and Ramsdale saved Rodri's spot kick before sub Fabio Vieira sealed it for the Londoners to spark wild celebrations.

City, who won the FA Cup and their first Champions League trophy as well as the league last season, begin the new campaign away at Burnley on Friday, August 11.

Arsenal, who finished as runners up, kick off the new season at home to Nottingham Forest the following day.

TERMINAL HIGH ALTITUDE AREA DEFENCE (THAAD)

What is THAAD?

It is considered to be the US's most superior missile defence system.

Production:

It was created in 2008.

Speed:

THAAD missiles can travel at over Mach 8, so fast that it is hypersonic.

Abilities:

THAAD is designed to take out  ballistic missiles as they are on their downward trajectory towards their target, otherwise known as the "terminal phase".

Purpose:

To protect high-value strategic sites, such as airfields or population centres.

Range:

THAAD can target projectiles inside and outside the Earth's atmosphere, at an altitude of 150 kilometres above the Earth's surface.

Creators:

Lockheed Martin was originally granted the contract to develop the system in 1992. Defence company Raytheon sub-contracts to develop other major parts of the system, such as ground-based radar.

UAE and THAAD:

In 2011, the UAE became the first country outside of the US to buy two THAAD missile defence systems. It then stationed them in 2016, becoming the first Gulf country to do so.
