Arsenal wins First Trophy of the Season

Arsenal lifted the first piece of silverware on offer for the 2015-16 season on Sunday, beating Chelsea 1-0 in the Community Shield at Wembley.

A tight contest that lacked composure throughout was settled by a wonderful Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain goal, cutting in off the right and firing into the top corner past Thibaut Courtois.
The Gunners missed several chances to increase their advantage, while Eden Hazard and Ramires both made a hash of easy chances to equalise.
Speaking to BT Sport live on TV after the game, Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker said, "It's another win. We've played a decent pre-season and this is good preparation for [the] first game. It's a little title for us. It keeps our confidence high. We are pretty happy with [the] performance."
