Arsenal Beat Chelsea In Community Shield

You know that the new football season is just around the corner when the Community Shield (Charity Shield in old money) takes place at Wembley and this afternoon it was Arsenal who won the trophy after beating Premier League Champions Chelsea.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored the winner with a powerful drive into the top corner with his weaker left foot.

Ramires headed wide unmarked from Loic Remy's cross as Chelsea failed to hit the target before the break.

Eden Hazard skied a chance over the bar before Oscar's free-kick was parried wide by Arsenal debutant Petr Cech.

Arsene Wenger: "We have suffered physically today and the pitch was not great.

"But overall it's good because in pre-season we have been solid defensively. Pre-season has gone quite well.

"We have no big injuries at the moment apart from Jack Wilshere who we lost yesterday."

Jose Mourinho We were the best team. We had more initiative, we controlled the game by having ball possession. Arsenal defended with 10 players, they put everybody in front of their own line and they had good organisation, congratulations to them.

"They had a couple of chances in counter attacks but we had ours in organised football. They played their game tactically and found themselves one goal in front without any reason.

"This season the Premier League title is very difficult but it is very difficult for everyone. The way other teams are spending they have big power in the hands while we are the same as last season. And with that we are going to try."
