Premier League champions Arsenal delivered an emphatic performance to beat Manchester City 3-0 and lift the 2026 Community Shield at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
Mikel Arteta's side made a sensational start, opening the scoring after just 23 seconds.
Myles Lewis-Skelly released Riccardo Calafiori, who calmly finished beyond City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Arsenal doubled their advantage in the 28th minute.
New signing Christos Tzolis headed Martin Odegaard's cross back into the danger area, allowing Kai Havertz to power a downward header into the net.
The Gunners effectively sealed the trophy three minutes after half-time.
Tzolis found Odegaard inside the penalty area, and the Arsenal captain brilliantly sold Donnarumma with a fake shot before rolling the ball into the opposite corner.
Victory over the FA Cup holders secured Arsenal's second trophy in four months and their 18th Community Shield triumph.
The traditional season curtain-raiser was staged in Cardiff because Wembley Stadium was hosting The Weeknd's 'After Hours til Dawn' tour.
Tzolis was one of Arsenal's standout performers, providing two assists from the left side of the attack.
The 24-year-old arrived from Club Brugge for £34m after an outstanding campaign in which he registered 17 goals and 23 assists.
His move also marks a return to England following his previous spell with Norwich City.
Bruno Guimaraes also started for Arsenal following his summer arrival, although he had a quieter afternoon at the base of midfield.
Lewis-Skelly impressed despite speculation surrounding his future, while Odegaard nearly added another goal before half-time when Josko Gvardiol cleared his effort off the line.
Substitute Bukayo Saka also had an opportunity late on but fired over from a promising position.
The match marked Manchester City's first competitive fixture without Pep Guardiola in charge for more than a decade, with new manager Enzo Maresca beginning his reign with a heavy defeat.
Maresca handed £116m signing Elliot Anderson his competitive debut and restored Phil Foden to the starting line-up after the England international had fallen out of favour under Guardiola last season.
Jack Grealish also appeared from the bench, making his first City appearance in 15 months.
City struggled to cope with Arsenal's intensity and physicality, although they did create several opportunities. David Raya produced strong saves to deny low efforts from Foden and Antoine Semenyo.
Ultimately, Arsenal were comfortably superior and claimed the trophy with the biggest Community Shield victory since 2014, when Arsene Wenger's Gunners also defeated Manchester City 3-0.
