Arsenal 3 Manchester City 0. The Gunners picked up where they left off last season, scoring three goals at Wembley to win some silverware.

It was a dazzling display from Arsenal, and they outclassed the Premier League champions who were lethargic and lacking in inventiveness against a Gunners side that looked sharp and slick despite the fact they were fielding three new players in Alexis Sanchez, Calum Chambers and Mathieu Debuchy.
