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."
