Christos Tzolis starred in his debut for Arsenal with two assists and a trophy as they beat Manchester City 3-0 in the Community Shield.
The Greek forward was one of the key players in the clash on Monday morning (AEST) at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, with the Gunners holding strong to win the Community Shield for the 18th time in its history.

They soon made it two in the 28th minute when Martin Odegaard’s cross found Tzolis at the far post, the winger heading it towards Kai Havertz who then headed it himself into the net.
Tzolis again intervened in the 48th minute as he bagged another assist, this time passing to Odegaard who then sent the ball into the goal to make it 3-0.
The victory marks a very positive start for Tzolis in his Gunners career after signing from Club Brugge.
