Arsenal Defeat Chelsea to Win 2017 English FA Community Shield After Shootout

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and new signing Alvaro Morata both missed from the spot as Arsenal stormed to a 4-1 penalty-shootout victory and glory in the 2017 FA Community Shield at Wembley Stadium on Sunday after the game had finished 1-1 in 90 minutes.

Using the new ABBA system, Gary Cahill, Theo Walcott and Nacho Monreal all netted before consecutive misses from Courtois and Morata allowed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Olivier Giroud to wrap up the Gunners' third Community Shield in four seasons.

Victor Moses slotted home a smart finish in the 46th minute to put Chelsea ahead after he reacted fastest when Arsenal failed to clear their lines following a corner.
