Arsenal have done it again! They have won the 2015 edition of the Community Shield, a competition which acts as a season curtain raiser in England.
It is contested by the winners of the Premier League and FA Cup of the previous season so this year's was between Arsenal and Chelsea at Wembley.
It was a remarkable day for the Gunners as they sailed through a 1-0 win over a Jose Mourinho side who did not take the game as a friendly which some of their fans now claim it was after losing. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was the hero of the day. His 24th minute strike into the top corner of the net was enough to give Arsenal their fifth win out of five pre-season games.
This is our second Community Shield triumph in the space of one year having previously won it against Manchester City last summer. It is also our third trophy in less than a month. The first was the Barclays Asia Trophy, next the Emirates Cup and now the Community Shield. For Petr Cech, it has been 3 appearances, three trophies at Arsenal. Sign of greater things to come, isn't it?
All the above named trophies may be termed 'minor' but they are still vital for boost ahead of the oncoming season. We will see where we go from there. Hopefully, surprises await our haters.
Oh! Arsene Wenger finally defeated Jose Mourinho on his fourteenth attempt. That's good. Congrats man! Do that again whenever we meet at any point in the season. Shoutout to all Arsenal players, staff and fans. Love you all. Enjoy the win.
Do you know that Arsenal have won their last six games at Wembley and won four trophies (not including the Barclays Asia Trophy and Emirates Cup) in the last fourteen months?
