🚨 Arsenal's Calafiori breaks Community Shield scoring record

The new Premier League season is getting underway, with the Community Shield match between the English top-flight champions and FA Cup winners taking place. Traditionally, the game allows teams some time to settle after the summer pause. However, Arsenal were right on form from the outset of their fixture against Manchester City.

In a remarkable display of speed and skill, Arsenal's Calafiori scored just 23 seconds into the match, netting the first goal of the night. The Italian winger's swift reaction to a precise pass from Lewis-Skelly saw him slot the ball past the City defense. Calafiori's goal secured a 1-0 victory for Arsenal, and more importantly, broke a longstanding record.

Never before in the history of the Community Shield had a player managed to score earlier than Calafiori did. This impressive feat was achieved in his very first touch of the ball, highlighting the young winger's exceptional talent and potential.
