• Arsenal battled Man City to a 1-1 draw during their Community Shield meeting on Sunday
• City took an early lead via Palmer before Trossard equalised deep in the second half
• Arsenal emerged the eventual winners of the tie, with Fabio Vieira scoring the winning penalty

Manchester City committed a major social media gaffe during their Community Shield encounter against Arsenal on Sunday, August 6, at Wembley Stadium.

The two English giants set up a date against each other following their impressive campaign during the 2022/23 campaign.

City were crowned the champions last season, with the Gunners forced to settle for a second-place finish despite their epic run for the better part of the campaign.

As such, Mikel Arteta's charges had a point to prove when they faced off with the treble winners on Sunday as they prepare for another title charge ahead of the upcoming campaign.
