Arsenal claimed the Community Shield with a 3-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday, according to Egyptian outlet اليوم السابع. The match, described as the English season's curtain-raiser, saw Arsenal lift the trophy in front of a crowd that included Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush.
The result marks Arsenal's fifth piece of silverware under manager Mikel Arteta, as reported by sports site يلاكورة. That tally covers all competitions during his tenure, per the outlet's count.
Marmoush's presence at the match drew attention, but his involvement was limited. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, speaking after the game, provided an update on Marmoush's fitness, according to اليوم السابع. Maresca's comments came in response to the player's condition following the loss, though the report did not specify the nature or severity of any issue.
The win also carries historical weight for Arsenal. One report from اخبارك نت noted that the club is now close to matching a record for the most Community Shield titles in English football history. The exact number of titles needed to reach that mark was not detailed in the available material.
The match itself was the traditional season opener between the previous season's Premier League champions and FA Cup winners. Manchester City entered as the league holders, while Arsenal's qualification came through their cup success.
For Arsenal, the victory extends a strong run of form under Arteta, who has now delivered five trophies since taking charge. The club will look to build on this momentum as the new Premier League season begins.
Manchester City, meanwhile, will aim to bounce back quickly, with Marmoush's fitness a point to monitor in the coming days.
