ARSENAL 1-0 CHELSEA IN FA COMMUNITY SHIELD. WENGER BEAT MOURINHO

First-half goal from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain saw FA Cup holders Arsenal to beat the Premier League champions Chelsea at Wembley in the 93rd Community Shield.

The England international cut inside Cesar Azpilicueta in the 24th minute and arrowed a shot into the top corner past Chelsea goalkeeper Thibault Courtois.

It was a goal to grace the occasion and it gave Arsenal their fifth straight victory in pre-season - and by far their most significant.

Aaron Ramsey, Olivier Giroud and Kieran Gibbs could have added a second but Chelsea probably had the better chances after Oxlade-Chamberlain's opener. Ramires squandered a free header, Eden Hazard fired over and Petr Cech denied Oscar.

This was the first victory Wenger has inflicted on his bitter rival Mourinho in 14 attempts spread over 11 years.

Mourinho did not shake hand with Arsene Wenger

But the pair did not shake hands at the full-time whistle in front of the TV cameras - with Wenger appearing to snub the Chelsea manager as his team celebrated.

Premier League points will be at stake next week against West Ham United. Arsenal could not have wished for better preparation.
