Arsenal legend Lee Dixon heaped praise upon Manchester City youngster Cole Palmer this weekend.

Dixon was speaking during the FA Community Shield, which Arsenal won on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

Palmer had given City a late lead in the game in the 77th minute, but the Gunners found a fortuitous equaliser through a deflected Leandro Trossard strike.

Speaking to ITV during the clash, Dixon stated that Palmer can replace the departed Riyad Mahrez in the squad.

What a talent this fella is. Mahrez leaving is there an opportunity for him?" he said.

He has had one chance already, absolutely no chance for Ramsdale, he bends it, absolutely brilliant.

Gorgeous, gorgeous chance and he takes it. Could be the winner. Partey thought he had him, he used the defender's body and it just bends away."
