0

Arsenal won the Community Shield 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Wembley.

The Gunners looked sharp in the first half and took the lead thanks to a terrific effort by captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but the Reds, who had an extra week to prepare, tightened the screw after the break and equalised through Takumi Minamino.

The game went straight to a shootout and the only miss came from young Rhian Brewster whose effort crashed off the bar. The sides traded a couple more successful efforts before Aubameyang hit the winner.
