Toure, what a run, what a player! , Kompany scored!

:00:33.:00:36.

Manchester City have their crown back.

:00:37.:00:45.

In added time here at Wembley. The moment that will clinch the first

:00:46.:00:52.

trophy for nine years for Arsene Wenger. Arsenal have won the FA Cup.

:00:53.:01:00.

Good evening. It was a happy trip to Wembley Stadium. Just three months

:01:01.:01:07.

ago for Arsenal, finally ending that long wait for a major trophy. Now

:01:08.:01:11.

they are back looking to add another, taking on the Premier

:01:12.:01:15.

League champions, Manchester City. Both sides will be looking to get

:01:16.:01:20.

the momentum going ahead of this weekend's big Premier League kick

:01:21.:01:26.

off. So let's join our commentary team of Martin Keogh I

:01:27.:01:28.

off. So let's join our commentary team of don't know and Steve Wilson

:01:29.:01:34.

-- Keown and Steve Wilson. You can never win too many trophies

:01:35.:01:38.

at Wembley. Arsenal and Manchester City are likely to be

:01:39.:01:41.

shoulder-to-shoaleder in the hunt for more silverware this season. The

:01:42.:01:47.

FA Community Shield supported by McDonalds is a good way to start.

:01:48.:01:52.

None of Arsenal's three German World Cup winners or Manchester City's

:01:53.:01:58.

three Argentine runners up are here. But FA Cup winners Arsenal can

:01:59.:02:05.

unveil Sanchez, Debuchy and Chambers making debuts and Sanogo is

:02:06.:02:09.

preferred to Giroud upfront. He scored four against Benfica in

:02:10.:02:12.

pre-season. Champions City have not included

:02:13.:02:20.

Kompany, Lampard or former Arsenal fullback, Sagna in their squad. Joe

:02:21.:02:24.

Hart doesn't make the team. Pelgreeny has two number one

:02:25.:02:28.

keepers, he says, if that makes sense and Caballero gets the

:02:29.:02:35.

Northwest nod today. Jovetic has scored five in

:02:36.:02:38.

pre-season and starts alongside Dzeko.

:02:39.:02:49.

Manchester City from right-to-left, all in sky blue against Arsenal in

:02:50.:02:58.

red and white. And Yaya Toure has it for Manchester City. Here is Boyata.

:02:59.:03:11.

Won the Charity Shield or Community Shield 11 times outright Arsenal.

:03:12.:03:15.

Only Manchester United and Liverpool have won it more than the Gunners.

:03:16.:03:23.

Ramsey. Sanogo. Debuchy. Well found. Nasri getting back.

:03:24.:03:35.

An chose from Ramsey. Wants to return. Cleverly played. Here is

:03:36.:03:42.

Debuchy. Did well to get across it. Sanogo nearly got something on it.

:03:43.:03:46.

Not out of woods yet, Manchester City. Cazorla. Arteta. Ramsey.

:03:47.:03:59.

Sanchez. Good play from Arsenal. Debuchy's cross too high for Sanogo.

:04:00.:04:05.

On the back foot Manchester City. Gibbs. Arteta. Wilshere.

:04:06.:04:22.

Sanchez. Jovetic. Chambers did well. Good play by Arsenal. Yes, very

:04:23.:04:36.

good. Mesmerizing passing. Just about stays on. Debuchy impressed me

:04:37.:04:43.

here. He gets that ball on. Defending well there, Clichy. Those

:04:44.:04:47.

two will be very pleased with what they have seen so far. Kolarov.

:04:48.:05:03.

Clichy. Nicely played. Navas to the by line. Dzeko left it. Nasri hit

:05:04.:05:21.

it. There was a claim for handball. Jovetic thought it was worth a

:05:22.:05:28.

shout. Brilliant turn from Kolarov. Kolarov Manchester City. Koscielny.

:05:29.:05:39.

. Fernandinho it it. -- Fernando hit it. Here is the shot from Nasri.

:05:40.:05:50.

Hits it from close range. The referee might want to give it. He's

:05:51.:05:54.

not even in a Manchester City kit but it's strange seeing him in a

:05:55.:05:59.

Manchester City tie Frank Lampard, alongside Aguero. He's in blue.

:06:00.:06:05.

That's where it stops. He would never have believeded this time last

:06:06.:06:13.

year he was on his way to Man City. Fernando chasing him.

:06:14.:06:21.

Wilshere. Gibbs. Neat little one-two. Clichy. Gibbs is in the

:06:22.:06:34.

mood. It was Clichy's pass that got his team in trouble.

:06:35.:07:02.

Ramsey. Sanchez. Sanogo. Play on, says the referee. He might profit.

:07:03.:07:19.

Oh, he does! Cazorla. He gives the FA Cup winners the lead over the

:07:20.:07:21.

Premier League champions. Good advantage played here as well

:07:22.:07:35.

by the referee because he could have given a free kick here. Intricate

:07:36.:07:47.

passing edge of the box. 1-0 Arsenal. Little swivel on to his

:07:48.:07:57.

left foot. Delightful finish by the Spaniard. Arsenal deservedly are in

:07:58.:08:12.

front. Debuchy back to goalkeeper Chesney who's been pretty much a

:08:13.:08:18.

spectator -- Szczesny. Gibbs. Goal scorer Cazorla neatly and quickly.

:08:19.:08:25.

Cazorla again and Sanogo. Puts it wide. Chance for the young man. That

:08:26.:08:32.

would have been absolutely brilliant. Sublime play from

:08:33.:08:36.

Arsenal. Through-ball to Sanogo. Hits it early. Only thing he doesn't

:08:37.:08:48.

do is put it in the back of the net. And he's disappointed. Navas.

:08:49.:09:06.

Wilshere. Cazorla. On to Sanchez. Five in this attack, Arsenal.

:09:07.:09:12.

Sanchez not quite. Fernando. Driven in. Cazorla seeing the chance.

:09:13.:09:32.

Corner. Clichy the man with the block or

:09:33.:09:37.

half block. Chambers, Koscielny and Sanogo. Sanchez is inside the six

:09:38.:09:40.

yard box. Didn't get the contact he was

:09:41.:10:00.

looking for, the Arsenal striker. . Hit him on the shoulder.

:10:01.:10:10.

Gibbs got a foot in. Koscielny. Lovely ball. Sanchez. Ramsey's

:10:11.:10:17.

sticking with Sanchez. Sanogo's there. Ramsey. Cazorla is arriving

:10:18.:10:29.

to Ramsey's left. Sanchez. Boyata. Navas for Manchester City.

:10:30.:10:40.

Dzeko. Jovetic. Good ball. Kolarov. Jovetic in the middle. Didn't quite

:10:41.:10:44.

come to Nasri and it's cleared by Gibbs. Almost got through there,

:10:45.:10:53.

Manchester City. Good ball in. Eludes the Arsenal defenders, just

:10:54.:10:57.

bubbles up and Nasri can't get on the end of it. Here is the spray for

:10:58.:11:13.

the first time on an English field. The crowd love it. It's not quite

:11:14.:11:29.

straight but never mind. Toure is going to have a pop. Fernando back

:11:30.:11:47.

to Toure. Nasri. Kolarov. Nasri. Jovetic trying to squeeze it

:11:48.:11:52.

through. Arteta can find Cazorla. Handball by Fernando. The referee

:11:53.:11:57.

thought so too. Very pleased that we are going to get the spray in the

:11:58.:12:06.

Premier League this season. Here is Gibbs. And still. Navas sticking

:12:07.:12:20.

with him. Ramsey. Sanogo was waiting. Sanogo making a nuisance of

:12:21.:12:27.

himself here. Manchester City with Fernando finds Dzeko and they might

:12:28.:12:32.

continue here. Jovetic. Dzeko's made something of this. He got away from

:12:33.:12:37.

Chambers. Dzeko here. Jovetic couldn't quite get away from

:12:38.:12:42.

Koscielny. Foul by Sanchez. Manchester City

:12:43.:12:48.

have a free kick. They did ever so well. Just that counterattack,

:12:49.:12:52.

Chambers there, getting down on the right hand side. That little

:12:53.:12:57.

question mark, when Arsenal are attacking, it's about leaving the

:12:58.:12:59.

right numbers back to be able to deal with that. Manchester City seem

:13:00.:13:03.

to be realising the opportunity. Fernando. Toure. Nasri. Kolarov.

:13:04.:13:15.

Dangerous. Wilshere. Sanchez. Wilshere is down.

:13:16.:13:30.

Lovely ball by Sanchez. Sanogo. Still and Ramsey and Ramsey for 2-0!

:13:31.:13:44.

Arran Ramsey doubles Arsenal's lead. On the counterattack and Arsene

:13:45.:13:53.

Wenger's side are two to the good. Brilliant from Ramsey. Look at the

:13:54.:13:57.

distance he covers. Sanchez holding it, waiting for him. Sanogo stay on

:13:58.:14:04.

side. Uses his power and strength, Sanogo. Hook at the patience, waits

:14:05.:14:10.

for his chance, he's really punished Man City there. Sanogo holding up

:14:11.:14:16.

nicely. Lovely little flick there from Ramsey. Lifts it over the top

:14:17.:14:24.

of the defender's foot. Beautiful. Punishes them into the corner.

:14:25.:14:36.

Arsenal sweeping around Wembley's goal.

:14:37.:14:44.

They can break again here. Sanogo, back into Sanchez who is on side

:14:45.:14:48.

here. Caballero did ever so well for Manchester City. Sanchez watched

:14:49.:14:59.

that one-in. Unbelievable. Great ball from Sanogo. Times his run and

:15:00.:15:02.

all credit to the keeper because he has to get to that. He's done ever

:15:03.:15:06.

so well here, Caballero for Manchester City.

:15:07.:15:15.

Toure. Dzeko. Lovely first touch to Silva, looking for Navas. Important

:15:16.:15:21.

header from Monreal. Navas was in behind but City asking a few

:15:22.:15:27.

questions. Clichy. Silva. No surprise if Silva inspired City to

:15:28.:15:31.

better things. Toure. Monreal's already been busy in a few moments

:15:32.:15:36.

since he came up. Did well there, Monreal.

:15:37.:15:41.

Delayed his tackle on Toure. You can already see Manchester City

:15:42.:15:45.

have improved since half time. Navas. Was he fouled by Giroud? No.

:15:46.:15:53.

Wilshere. Ramsey. Jack Wilshere. He was fouled. The referee, Michael

:15:54.:16:00.

Oliver, is having words with Fernando. That's the first yellow

:16:01.:16:05.

card coming out. He's just pulled Wilshere back.

:16:06.:16:08.

Absolutely no need. He can have no complaints. Look at this. Puts an

:16:09.:16:13.

arm on his shoulder. Fernando actually served a 12-month

:16:14.:16:18.

international ban in 2007 for assaulting a referee at the South

:16:19.:16:20.

American under 20 Championships. Another free kick here for Jovetic

:16:21.:16:45.

or Wilshere. Wilshere tends to draw these fouls out of opponents. Late

:16:46.:16:50.

releasing the ball. That's why he's got so many injuries over the years.

:16:51.:16:58.

Monreal. Cazorla. Gibbs. Ramsey. Beautifully done.

:16:59.:17:09.

Ricochetted off Fernando. A few shouts for handball. Arsenal get the

:17:10.:17:20.

throw. Lovely balance by Ramsey. It span round. This was the appeal

:17:21.:17:25.

for handball against Fernando. Again it's happening so quickly.

:17:26.:17:31.

That hits him on the chest. Yes. Shoulder, rather than the arm. Dzeko

:17:32.:17:35.

forward finding Silva. Toure. Navas. Too high for Dzeko. Attacked at the

:17:36.:17:52.

back post and it's off the post from Jovetic and the rebound is wide. Hit

:17:53.:17:58.

the wood work. Jovetic has had a very good pre-season. Getting on the

:17:59.:18:05.

end of this. Powerful header. I think it's a great save in the end.

:18:06.:18:10.

Maybe it did hit the post. Nice touch from Silva. Yeovil touch.

:18:11.:18:50.

Chance here. Good save by Szczesny. Kolarov getting forward was the

:18:51.:19:00.

problem for Arsenal. -- Jovetic. Look at that. That is as good a save

:19:01.:19:10.

as you'll see. It's a reaction save. Here is Yaya Toure. Finding Jovetic.

:19:11.:19:17.

Fernando. Silva. Kolarov. Kolarov might reach

:19:18.:19:31.

that. Szczesny got there and it's a goal kick. Going to be a double

:19:32.:19:42.

substitution here for Manchester City. Milner is coming on, number 7,

:19:43.:19:50.

and less familiar to you will be number 36, Bruno Zucullini,

:19:51.:19:56.

21-year-old Argentine signed from a club for ?3 million. He's been

:19:57.:19:59.

involved in pre-season and done well. His brother plays for Bologna,

:20:00.:20:09.

his older brother, Franco. Giroud. Good try. Fantastic goal

:20:10.:20:23.

from Giroud. He's answered a few critics with

:20:24.:20:28.

that one. Who said I wasn't fit, that is what he is saying.

:20:29.:20:34.

Unbelievable. He's got no right to score from there. Incredible finish.

:20:35.:20:39.

Look at this. A real opportunist effort. Gives himself space.

:20:40.:20:46.

Fantastic shot. The power and swerve on it. Taken a little deflection I

:20:47.:20:53.

think just as he hits this. Nastasic coming across, I think it just

:20:54.:20:57.

flicked off Nastasic's foot. The keeper is flailing after that. It's

:20:58.:21:01.

a wonderful finish. Perfect for his confidence. Arsenal 3, Manchester

:21:02.:21:06.

City 0. Clichy. Zucullini. Silva. Lovely

:21:07.:21:24.

typical Silva turn. Zucullini almost on to it, but Arteta can find

:21:25.:21:33.

Wilshere who wriggles through too. Wilshere picking himself up. I think

:21:34.:21:41.

he'll be OK. 3-0 to Arsenal. This is nearer to Wenger's first choice 11

:21:42.:21:48.

than it is to Pellegrini's. Navas to Silva. Definitely. I still feel

:21:49.:21:55.

there will be a reaction from City. Clichy's ball in.

:21:56.:22:02.

It's good for their confidence to win a game like this. If they lose,

:22:03.:22:13.

it's part of pre-season. The overhead kick doesn't come off. Is

:22:14.:22:18.

it the end of pre-season or the beginning of the season. I suppose

:22:19.:22:23.

the answer is, it depends if you win or not. Exactly. The emphatic

:22:24.:22:30.

message if it stays like this, the three Germans aren't even here and

:22:31.:22:33.

you are 3-0 up against the champions.

:22:34.:22:46.

Boyata for Manchester City who've now accepted the inevitable.

:22:47.:22:52.

Zucullini. Looking for Sinclair. Picked up by Silva. Sinclair. Not

:22:53.:23:02.

much of an angle. Put behind for a corner. Debuchy's got a bit of

:23:03.:23:14.

cramp. Scored a hat trick here for Swansea many the play-off finals.

:23:15.:23:21.

Put it just wide. It's a tremendous leap. Just over

:23:22.:23:33.

the top of Szczesny. Probably the only thing he's done wrong. Just

:23:34.:23:38.

hesitated. Lucky not to be punished. The two of them climbed. Came off

:23:39.:23:45.

the back of Boyata's head, rather than Richards'. Zucullini forward.

:23:46.:23:51.

Sinclair and Szczesny had to use his head, literally. The refer yes's

:23:52.:23:56.

whistle has denied Manchester City the chance to do something with the

:23:57.:24:04.

follow-up, but Szczesny here is down. Fantastic run from Sinclair.

:24:05.:24:12.

Szczesny's coming out with his head, outside of his box. Chipped in.

:24:13.:24:18.

Lovely run, gets there first and not sure Sinclair's done a lot wrong

:24:19.:24:20.

there. Maybe he caught Szczesny. Szczesny would appear to be OK. A

:24:21.:24:37.

couple of added minutes on to what was already added time. Chambers

:24:38.:24:42.

will take the free kick for his keeper.

:24:43.:24:50.

Oxlade-Chamberlain to Flamini. Gibbs. Monreal.

:24:51.:25:07.

Off side on the far side. Zucullini for Manchester City who've

:25:08.:25:19.

been well beaten today. I think it was the way they started the game,

:25:20.:25:26.

second half they were a lot better. It was the first half display where

:25:27.:25:31.

Arsenal moved the ball beautifully well. Sanchez in his right position

:25:32.:25:41.

moving well for his team. Debuchy. Fernando clipping it away.

:25:42.:25:50.

Milner. Gibbs. Nastasic. Clichy. And the

:25:51.:26:12.

2014 FA Community Shield has been won by Arsene Wenger and Arsenal.

:26:13.:26:19.

The FA Cup winners beat the Premier League champions and deservedly so.

:26:20.:26:24.

Arsenal good value for their victory. Cazorla with the first,

:26:25.:26:29.

Ramsey with the second and Giroud with a beautiful third. It's been a

:26:30.:26:34.

very good performance from the Gunners, Martin Keown, and having

:26:35.:26:38.

ended that nine-year trophy drought with the FA Cup last May, they'll be

:26:39.:26:45.

very happy to make it two. Without doubt that takes Arsene Wenger now

:26:46.:26:52.

on into a new season. He looks five years younger looking at him winning

:26:53.:26:57.

the FA Cup. It will be a nice photograph with the two trophies

:26:58.:27:03.

this year beneath his feet. It finishes at Wembley in the FA

:27:04.:27:08.

Community Shield supported by McDonald's. Arsenal 3, Manchester

:27:09.:27:15.

City 0. Aaron Ramsey, you must love this

:27:16.:27:19.

place, another Wembley goal? Yes, we want to play here every week, we've

:27:20.:27:23.

scored in the final and again today. So we are delighted with that. It

:27:24.:27:29.

put us in a good position going into the league now. What is the feeling

:27:30.:27:33.

like in the squad? Is there a feeling that you have a squad

:27:34.:27:37.

capable for winning a big massive title? I believe so. We came close

:27:38.:27:41.

last year, we knead to improve from last season against the big teams a

:27:42.:27:45.

way from home. We'll learn our lesson from last year and you will

:27:46.:27:49.

see a different Arsenal in the away games and I reckon we'll be there or

:27:50.:27:54.

thereabouts at the end. That's a big marker isn't it, beating Manchester

:27:55.:27:58.

City. Some may say it's only the Community Shield but you have beaten

:27:59.:28:00.

the Premier League champions? Absolutely. We come here preparing

:28:01.:28:05.

the right way, didn't treat it as a friendly, as a proper game, and we

:28:06.:28:09.

managed to to that and come out and win the game 3-0. Mikel, many

:28:10.:28:15.

congratulations, in many ways the perfect start to your season? Yes,

:28:16.:28:19.

at Wembley we wanted to start the season very strong as we finished

:28:20.:28:24.

and it's a good start against a top team. To win 3-0 here it's a special

:28:25.:28:28.

day. Made a terrific signing in Sanchez. What difference has he made

:28:29.:28:34.

around the place? Well, I think he creates momentum. You can notice the

:28:35.:28:39.

difference straightaway. He brings pace, experience and skill. The

:28:40.:28:45.

other teams will be scared of him. Your manager says you are a better

:28:46.:28:50.

side than last year. Do you get the feeling that you are potential title

:28:51.:28:53.

contenders this season? We have to be. The other teams have signed some

:28:54.:28:58.

top players, so it's going to be one of the most exciting Premier Leagues

:28:59.:29:01.

in years. We are ready for it and want to challenge all the teams. Not

:29:02.:29:06.

a bad start to your Arsenal career, got your hands on silverware? I

:29:07.:29:10.

know. To get nit the first competitive game, it's an amazing

:29:11.:29:15.

game, especially at Wembley. More of this for the coming year. What is

:29:16.:29:19.

the feeling like in the club? Can you go on from this? You've won the

:29:20.:29:24.

FA Cup and now the Community Shield. General title contenders? Yes, this

:29:25.:29:31.

team's got great bunches of players and there's great team spirit. We

:29:32.:29:34.

are all doing really well so we'll go into every game and give it our

:29:35.:29:38.

best. You have got some tremendous fight for places, haven't you? The

:29:39.:29:42.

World Cup winners coming back soon, Walcott is coming back, it's a squad

:29:43.:29:47.

capable of winning a major title? It's a strong squad. Competition for

:29:48.:29:51.

places is a good thing. It will make everyone want to play better and get

:29:52.:29:55.

in the team next week, so yes, I think we have got a strong team this

:29:56.:29:59.

year. You have slotted in nicely and looked like you enjoyed it? I did.

:30:00.:30:04.

Everyone's welcomed me and I can't thank them enough for that. So Mikel

:30:05.:30:14.

Arteta walks up the steps. Arsenal who didn't win a bean from 20005 to

:30:15.:30:21.

2014, but who ended that drought on 17th May, here at Wembley beating

:30:22.:30:27.

Hull City in the FA Cup final and who are back, just a few weeks'

:30:28.:30:31.

later to receive the FA Community Shield, supported by McDonald's, and

:30:32.:30:36.

to receive it from a man who knows all about Arsenal Football Club,

:30:37.:30:37.

from Pat Wright. A life-long association with the

:30:38.:30:49.

Gunners. He has done it all and seen it all. But you don't -- I don't

:30:50.:30:55.

remember him ever presenting a trophy to Arsenal before. He has

:30:56.:31:02.

received a view and Pat Rice congratulates each one of those red

:31:03.:31:10.

and white shirted players. And hands the FA Community Shield to Mikel

:31:11.:31:17.

Arteta and Arsenal start season 2014/2015 in style with broad smiles

:31:18.:31:22.

and with silverware. The FA Community Shield belongs to Arsenal.

:31:23.:31:35.

Many congratulations. In many ways, the perfect start. A fantastic

:31:36.:31:42.

display. We played well, especially in the first half and we defended

:31:43.:31:48.

very well. We had good variation in our attacking display. The second

:31:49.:31:53.

half, we couldn't sustain physically completely what we did in the first

:31:54.:31:57.

but we kept great togetherness and great desire to fight together.

:31:58.:32:00.

Disappointing start to the season. Well, it is not the start of the

:32:01.:32:05.

season. Maybe it is the end of the last season because we are now in

:32:06.:32:11.

pre-season and the squad is not - the starting 11 today is not our

:32:12.:32:16.

normal starting 11. We have one week more to work. So the season starts

:32:17.:32:20.

next Sunday. I think it is always good to win this game, to win the

:32:21.:32:25.

Communtiy Shield but Arsenal played better than us, the first half

:32:26.:32:29.

especially. And they scored two goals. The second half we had

:32:30.:32:32.

possession and chances to score but we didn't. Some will say it is only

:32:33.:32:36.

the Communtiy Shield but the big plus for you, Arsne, is you have

:32:37.:32:41.

beaten Manchester City, the Premier League champions. Yes, it is always

:32:42.:32:45.

the same. If you lose it, people say to you - you have lost a trophy. If

:32:46.:32:51.

you win it, it is only the Communtiy Shield. We have to live with that.

:32:52.:32:55.

It was an important game for us, in our mind and we won it, so that's

:32:56.:33:00.

all I can say. Of can dent of retaining your title -- confident?

:33:01.:33:03.

Of course. We know always the Premier League is a tough league,

:33:04.:33:09.

whether you have five or six strong squads in the league -- where you

:33:10.:33:13.

have five or six. They have a chance to win the title

:33:14.:33:17.

but I think we have a stronger team than last year. We hope we can

:33:18.:33:20.

repeat but that we can demonstrate on the pitch and in the talking. How

:33:21.:33:24.

excited are you about this season? Suddenly you have a squad that's

:33:25.:33:27.

talented, a squad surely capable of winning the Premier League? Look,

:33:28.:33:30.

I'm excited and cautious as well because, you know, as well,

:33:31.:33:37.

football, as I know, I have a lot of experience and it is a good basis,

:33:38.:33:42.

you know, but mathematically, of course, we want to win the Premier

:33:43.:33:47.

League and we have a desire to do it but we are conscious as well that

:33:48.:33:52.

there are many, many good teams in the league and let's just focus on

:33:53.:33:56.

the next one and then try to be consistent. So Arsenal lift the

:33:57.:33:59.

Communtiy Shield for the first time since 2004. Fantastic array of

:34:00.:34:03.

talent on display at Wembley this afternoon and a fantastic line-up

:34:04.:34:08.

this evening. Good evening to Tony Pulis, Brad Friedel and Martin

:34:09.:34:13.

Keown. Arsene Wenger says he is excited about the new season, he has

:34:14.:34:17.

every right to be after today? They played well. The first half they

:34:18.:34:20.

deserved to be 2-0 up. Second half, I thought Man City came into T David

:34:21.:34:25.

Silva came on and made a difference. -- I thought Man City came into it.

:34:26.:34:30.

But when Olivier Giroud scored the goal, the game died. I think City

:34:31.:34:36.

took their foot off the pedal and Arsenal did. Arsenal deserved to

:34:37.:34:39.

win. Brad, disappointed with Manchester City? Well, I was more

:34:40.:34:45.

impressed with Arsenal. I thought Karzai, Sanchez and Wilshere and

:34:46.:34:52.

Ramsey in the first half, Man City's back half couldn't deal with them. I

:34:53.:34:56.

thought Chambers was composed. He looked good. The pressing, the

:34:57.:34:59.

energy, everything was better from Arsenal. Man City didn't know what

:35:00.:35:03.

to do. Yaya Toure go the frustrated. As Tony said, in the second half

:35:04.:35:07.

when they brought in Silva, he was getting into pockets, they started

:35:08.:35:10.

to get forward. They desperately needed a goal to make it 2-1 when

:35:11.:35:16.

Giroud made it 3-0, that killed off the game. Let's look at the goals.

:35:17.:35:42.

Hamid Karzai, he like - - Santi Cazorla likes it here.

:35:43.:35:47.

I was surprised Man City never matched them up. They played 4-4-2

:35:48.:35:52.

and Navas and Nasri didn't track back. Arsenal occupy their back four

:35:53.:35:56.

with their three forwards. The two wide players come off the line and

:35:57.:36:01.

pull right in time. You you have to narrow your back four N Arsenal

:36:02.:36:05.

pushed the two fullbacks on and almost played like wingbacks. They

:36:06.:36:16.

had five almost upfront. And then Toure and Fernando were picking up

:36:17.:36:22.

them. Man City never got to grips with it.

:36:23.:36:26.

It will be interesting if Pellegrini sticks with two strikers. That was

:36:27.:36:30.

what won them the lead. But today their midfield couldn't get on the

:36:31.:36:34.

ball. Just against the better teams, who keep the ball well, if you get

:36:35.:36:38.

outnumbered in midfield, I think you always have a problem. I think he

:36:39.:36:41.

has to lock at that, especially when they play the top teams in Europe.

:36:42.:36:47.

Brad, Olivier Giroud, you often wonder how play letters react after

:36:48.:36:51.

coming off the World Cup but he came on and scored a great goal. He Z it

:36:52.:36:58.

was aided by deflection. -- he Z substitution came on. We were

:36:59.:37:01.

talking about the formation, out of nothing, Giroud touches it to his

:37:02.:37:07.

left T gets -- left. It gets deflected a bit over Caballero. He

:37:08.:37:11.

didn't vch else to do in that second half but once the third goal went

:37:12.:37:16.

in, game over. The game was lost by Man City in the first half. They

:37:17.:37:20.

didn't take it seriously enough. It shows you, even if you champions and

:37:21.:37:25.

you are way better, you will get punished. Arsenal started well. The

:37:26.:37:28.

fullbacks were getting out nicely. Debuchy had a game, Chambers at the

:37:29.:37:35.

back. What about that for confidence playing in a gym of that size and

:37:36.:37:41.

the enormity. -- a gym. If you play with two upfront, and getting

:37:42.:37:46.

outnumbered there is nothing wrong with one striker coming up. When

:37:47.:37:49.

David Silva came up, they floated into the middle and got more joy

:37:50.:37:53.

going forward. In the first half they stuck with the two upfront and

:37:54.:37:57.

Arsenal possessed the ball for 45 straight minutes. I have to ask you

:37:58.:38:02.

about Alexis Sanchez. He was fantastic for Chile in the World

:38:03.:38:08.

Cup. When you have a player of his ability, surely it makes you Premier

:38:09.:38:13.

League title contenders. If you look at Arsenal, Cazorla and Giroud

:38:14.:38:16.

haven't got the pace that the top players who played for Arsenal had

:38:17.:38:19.

before. Sanchez joining the group now, he brings that pace and when

:38:20.:38:25.

you get Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain fit, that'll

:38:26.:38:29.

cause teamses. And you have your -- teams problems. And you have your

:38:30.:38:35.

World Cup players. Yes when I was looking at the squads, and you were

:38:36.:38:39.

talking about who Man City and Arsenal were going to buy and you

:38:40.:38:44.

see who is on the Beverly and on the bench and then you have Podolski and

:38:45.:38:50.

others to come. I'm not sure they have too much more to purchase. I

:38:51.:38:56.

thought Chambers' positioning was excellent. I will leave that to you,

:38:57.:39:01.

being ex- na. Chambers, you are right. Coming in showing promise. I

:39:02.:39:05.

personally feel a deep-lying midfield player to slot n someone

:39:06.:39:09.

with the pace that Toure has in there. You want that pace in and

:39:10.:39:13.

around you. But I look at the progression of some of these

:39:14.:39:15.

players. Ramsey now, he is really looking a top, top player. The

:39:16.:39:20.

biggest compliment I can pay him, he is almost as good as Fabregas was

:39:21.:39:25.

when he left. He is the glue in the team. Excellent. Sanchez comes off

:39:26.:39:28.

the line. Doesn't play down the middle but when he does, it is

:39:29.:39:32.

difficult. It will be interesting to see how Palace will cope with him.

:39:33.:39:38.

Sanogo is getting tidier, progressing as a player and is a

:39:39.:39:42.

thorn in the opposition's side. Before Arsenal fans get ahead of

:39:43.:39:46.

themselves, they have a tricky opening fixture against Crystal

:39:47.:39:49.

Palace, are you ready for them? Tony? I thought they were

:39:50.:39:55.

magnificent today. Are you ready? Obviously it will be a tough game

:39:56.:39:58.

for us. After today's result they will be full of confidence. We have

:39:59.:40:02.

nothing to lose. Everybody will expect Arsenal to win, so we will go

:40:03.:40:07.

there and give it our best. Thank you very much. So the Premier League

:40:08.:40:10.

kicks off on Saturday. You will not miss a thing with us, on the BBC.

:40:11.:40:29.

COMMENTATOR: What a strike. Magnificent. ! What an absolute

:40:30.:40:39.

cracker. From the Premier League to the FA Cup, Football League and the

:40:40.:40:43.

best women's football. There's more football than ever, all across the

:40:44.:40:44.

BBC. So make sure you are on your sofa at

:40:45.:40:58.

12.10 on Saturday for the first Football Focus of the season,

:40:59.:41:01.

including an interview with Manchester City manager, Manuel

:41:02.:41:07.

Pellegrini. Final score kicks off at 2.30 and Gary Lineker will be joined

:41:08.:41:16.

by Alan Shearer and Rudd -- Guillit. Well, how excited are you. How is

:41:17.:41:22.

your manager lining up? He is very good. His training is demanding but

:41:23.:41:27.

in an enjoyable way. The players are backing what he is telling us. We

:41:28.:41:31.

will be high pressing, trying to do all the things you saw in

:41:32.:41:35.

Southampton and if you saw Spain play, it has been - we start with a

:41:36.:41:40.

West Ham team that we lost three times to last year, so we are going

:41:41.:41:45.

to want to put that right. It is interesting what he did at

:41:46.:41:50.

Southampton where he has made the careers of such young players. He

:41:51.:41:54.

has arrived at a club, lots of new signings, can he turn you into a

:41:55.:41:59.

really good team? The answer to that is, yes, I think he K I think he has

:42:00.:42:04.

started 234 training. I think his tactical approach -- he has started

:42:05.:42:09.

in training. His tactical approach, very authoritative. Interesting, I

:42:10.:42:12.

think Spurs will go well. I don't think you will get into the top

:42:13.:42:17.

four, but I think you will go some way it playing better than last

:42:18.:42:20.

year. I think we will be very close to that. We'll have a little side

:42:21.:42:27.

wagers. Tony, how excited are you by the new season? You have made good

:42:28.:42:31.

signings. We stillville work to do and need to do work -- we still have

:42:32.:42:37.

a bit of work to do. The squad needs strengthening but it is always

:42:38.:42:39.

exciting the week before the first game of the Premier League season.

:42:40.:42:43.

The honour to go to the Emirates and play against a great side, great

:42:44.:42:46.

manager, great Football Club, Arsenal. One of the great football

:42:47.:42:49.

clubs in the world. We are looking forward to it. Realistically, can

:42:50.:42:52.

Arsenal win the Premier League? I think it will be tough. They are

:42:53.:42:56.

spending big money now. I think Man City, really, though, go in as the

:42:57.:43:00.

favourites. Chelsea, there is a lot of stuff there, players coming in.

:43:01.:43:04.

Man City are the favourites. Arsenal might push another place above.

:43:05.:43:08.

Maybe third this year. Good to see you, boys. Thank you very much. So,

:43:09.:43:12.

Arsenal lift the Communtiy Shield here at Wembley, just six sleeps to

:43:13.:43:16.

go before the start of the Premier League season. From all of us here,

:43:17.:43:18.

bye for now. Cazorla, the FA Cup winners over the

:43:19.:43:37.

Premier League champion. The spray and the crowd love it.

:43:38.:43:45.

Ramsey for 2-1. -- 2-0. Olivier Giroud. A fantastic goal.

:43:46.:43:52.
