Arsenal vs Man City: Fans react to Ramsdale heroics in Community Shield win

The Gunners defeated Man City through a penalty shootout after playing a 1-1 draw at full time.

Manchester City opened the scoring in the 77th minute through a curling effort from substitute Cole Palmer but the Arsenal did not give up as they scored the equaliser in the 101 minutes of injury time to take the game to a penalty shootout.

Arsenal scored all four of their penalties from Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard, Bukayo Saka and Fabio Viera with Man City scoring only one and missing two for penalties.

Arsenal's win over Manchester City makes it the third time the Gunners will defeat the Citizens in the Community Shield and the 17th Community Shield title.

Despite the win, Aaron Ramsdale was seen as the hero of the game as he saved the last penalty from Manchester City player Rodri.

Arsenal fans were full of joy after Viera slotted the last penalty kick for the Gunners to seal their 17th Community Shield title.

They took to social media to express how they felt about Ramsdale’s save and Viera’s last Penalty.

This is what they had to say on social media: 

An Arsenal fan said, “We get linked with David Raya and suddenly Aaron Ramsdale starts saving penalties. Competition breeds competence.”

Another one said, “Arteta invited Raya to the stadium to force pressure on Ramsdale so he'd save a penalty.”

One said, “AARON RAMSDALE SAVING A RODRI PENALTY IS POSSIBLY THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN.”

Another Arsenal fan said, “Ramsdale well and truly silenced his critics 🧤”

The Gunners will begin their Premier League campaign against Nottingham Forest on Saturday as they look to challenge City for the title.
