Breaking: Arsenal win Community Shield, subdue Premier League champions Liverpool
Arsenal made history again by adding Community Shield to their remarkable feat this season after posting a 5-4 victory (on penalties) after 1-1 draw regulation time over Premier League kings, Liverpool at the Wembley on Saturday.
This is Arsenal’s second win at Wembley this month. Their FA Cup final win over Chelsea was on 1 August.

For the second year in a row Liverpool lost the Community Shield on penalties to Mikel Arteta (he was Manchester City assistant last year).
Unfortunately for Liverpool’s Rhian Brewster, who did not get a touch (excluding his missed penalty) after coming on with seconds left.
Takumi Minamino gave Liverpool face-saving equaliser against Arsenal but the goal did not help them to win the Community Shield.
Minamino is the first player to ever score his first Liverpool goal at Wembley.
Last year Manchester City scored in the 12th minute, with Liverpool equalising after 77 minutes and then losing on penalties.
Liverpool lost on penalties to Manchester City last year remember. It was Georginio Wijnaldum’s penalty that was saved by Claudio Bravo.
