Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>President Paul Kagame has congratulated Arsenal after the Premier League side staged a late comeback to edge treble winners Manchester City 4-1 on penalty shootout to win the 2023 Community Shield at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Arsenal gave their hopes of beating Manchester City to the Premier League title a psychological boost as they defeated Pep Guardiola’s side on penalties to win the Community Shield.<\/p>\n

After a largely forgettable 70 minutes in the season curtain-raiser, Cole Palmer looked to have won it for City when the substitute curled home a stunning strike.<\/p>\n

But Leandro Trossard equalised in the 101st minute when his shot deflected into the back of the net.<\/p>\n

That took the game to spot-kicks, where substitute Kevin de Bruyne struck the crossbar before Rodri saw his effort saved and then Fabio Vieira converted to secure the silverware for Arsenal.<\/p>\n

“Congrats Arsenal. Shows what’s to come. You can only LUV it,\u201d Kagame said.<\/p>\n
