Video: 23 seconds are enough for Arsenal to breach Manchester City's defences

Scoring in the opening seconds

Arsenal needed just 23 seconds to break the deadlock against Manchester City in Sunday's Community Shield, the curtain-raiser to the English season.

The Gunners came flying out of the blocks. Italy's Riccardo Calafiori tucked away the opener in the 23rd second after a brilliant pass from teammate Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Opta put the goal into context: "Riccardo Calafiori's goal for Arsenal after 23 seconds is the first goal scored in the opening minute of a Community Shield match since Bobby Owen's goal for Manchester City against West Bromwich Albion in 1968".

Arsenal walked out as Premier League title holders, with Manchester City lining up as FA Cup winners.

For City, it was a first competitive outing under new coach Enzo Maresca.
