Summary
Christos Tzolis set up two goals in Arsenal's 3-0 Community Shield win over Manchester City in Cardiff, with Mikel Arteta saying the 24-year-old made the right decisions in tight spaces.
Arteta said the new signing has adapted quickly and naturally, praising his intelligence and accuracy as Arsenal delivered an unusually sharp display so early in the season.
Arsenal's midfield also stood out: new arrival Bruno Guimaraes started, Martin Odegaard impressed and Declan Rice came off the bench, reinforcing Arteta's view that the squad now has more quality and leadership.
Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri were left out of the matchday squad, but Arteta said the omissions were unrelated to their futures and instead renewed his call for larger Premier League squads.
