Arsenal beat Chelsea to win community shield

Theo Walcott in celebration mood with team mate
Statistics you need to know are stated below:
  • Arsenal have now scored in all eight of their games at the new Wembley.
  • Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's opener was his 13th goal for Arsenal but his first away from the Emirates.
  • Theo Walcott made only three passes in the opposition's half, one of them providing Arsenal's goal.
  • Olivier Giroud (3) had more shots than any other Arsenal player, despite coming on as a second-half substitute.
  • The last two times Chelsea had won the Community Shield, they went on to win the title.
  • It was the first time Chelsea have failed to score at the new Wembley in 14 games. 
"It was a hard-fought match. It certainly meant a lot to the players, as to what it will mean over the season, time will tell, but Arsenal and Arsene Wenger have finally broken their Jose Mourinho hoodoo.
"Psychologically, you need to win trophies. For a long time Arsenal did not win enough. But now they are used to victories at Wembley. There was very little between the two teams but in the end, Arsenal won it 1-0. That's not a scoreline you would have thought of a while ago."
