Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger claimed victory over Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho on the 14th attempt as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s goal gave the FA Cup winner a 1-0 win in Sunday’s Community Shield.
The England midfielder struck in the 24th minute at a sun-soaked Wembley Stadium to break Mourinho’s longstanding hold over his French rival and give Arsenal hope of a sustained assault on Chelsea’s Premier League title.
While Chelsea improved in the second half, they could not find a way past its former goalkeeper Petr Cech, who registered a clean sheet as his new club claimed its 13th outright Community Shield. — AFP
