The Gunners saw off the defending
Premier League champions in the Community Shield showdown in London after a
penalty shootout proved to be the decider.
Liverpool entered the game as prime
favorites having won the Premier League and an impressive run of form against
Arsenal only losing once in five years. Arsenal came on to defy the odds after
they opened the scoring early on in the game with Aubameyang finishing off a
salient Bukayo Saka pass.
A good decision to bring in their
January signing, Takumi Minamino, paid off as he got the equalizer for the Reds
in the 73 minute in what seemed to be controversial.
There was no chance for a winning
goal with the game heading straight for penalty shootouts where Arsenal beat
Liverpool. Rhian Brewster missed his kick for the Reds as his effort hit the
woodwork. A winning penalty from
Aubameyang sealed the deal for Arsenal.
